The Inheritance
I was born into shadow. Patrilineal land rights have cast my female ancestors to the farthest corners of my family's history. Their names are missing from nearly three hundred years of records; I am haunted by their absence. The ambivalence of this birthright is explored through the dialogue between landscape photography, sound and performance. The mimesis of a hand gesture signifying feminine virtue in Chinese Opera is activated by the representation of terrain that speaks of loss, desire and exile.
