Statement
Each series of my work focuses on a particular contemporary issue. This is the seed – my starting point. From there, I delve into this issue and ask questions about why this is important and to whom. With this knowledge, I can then create a strategy to make the work and explore the materiality behind it.This new body of work, Mygration, explores notions behind human migration and the connections we all have to it. Nowhere in the world is free of questions around immigration and our political leaders use it as a tool for their own gain. As the child of a foreigner, I was taught about those subtle differences from home one can long for in a new place. The bread is different, the smells, the tastes, and the sounds are different. This new work, Mygration, Yourgration, Ourgration, asks questions about what is it like to be lost in a landscape and why our memories of home flavour our experience of a new place.
