Tanya Smyth
Alexandra
The work is a visual adaptation and reimagining of the myth of Alexandra - a mysterious figure from my family’s past. The images generate a sense of antiquity in reconstructing the family lineage connected with her name - which has been bestowed upon a single member of my family through every generation up to the present time. Heirlooms and artefacts handed down from generations of women directly connect with the real and lived heritage of generations of women designated the name Alexandra in my family tree – blending past with present, real and imaginary, to create sense of interconnection between the women of shared family lineage and legacy.
