MOT-TER A POROUS CONSTRUCTION

Underpinned by feminist narratives; this work explores themes of identity, memory, agency and the inherent expression of female as body. Originating from an autobiographical position, these concepts are interrogated through the mother daughter relationship and remembered gestures. Childhood anecdotes form our construction of self, our personal experience shapes our expression and performance of our present choices. We are forced to consider the cyclical language and obligations of our surroundings, of our interpretations of the naked body, political and historical references, our ancestry and, how these notions truly separate us as an individual. The uncomfortable line of familiarity between mother and daughter antagonises the unspoken distance, asking where does the individual begin and where does it end? Including photographs, sculptural installation, archives & sound recordings this project examines the coexisting familiarity and nuances, to challenge the internal and external understanding of the ‘me.’
