Reception: Thursday, June 11 from 5-7PM
The conservation of domestic knowledge gains access to conversations that overstep time and space. Like most objects we utilize every day, we fail to notice them beyond their function until something causes a repositioning and a resonance to emerge. In the exhibition Lamenting Through Objects, I respond to the items I inherited after my mother’s death by utilizing mark-making as rumination––allowing care, repetition and embodiment to present itself as form. Once her creative collaborator, her sewing machine and I connect on paper, communicating with each other through our marks, visually referencing sorrow as labour. Together, interacting with these objects as conduits, we document the presence of her absence––archiving and honouring grief as a perceptual interference––connecting us with the deepest parts of ourselves. These drawings are communications utilizing process, time and observation to birth witness to a continual connection that lives in the liminal space of mourning.
