Titled The Braided Mythology, the exhibition explores the ways in which our very core conceptions, which include notions such as self and gender, are first constructed and then embodied through artifacts and stories.
Taking as a starting point ancient Greek and Roman sculpture; I use these fragmented findings, broken myths and patched up histories to piece together my own mythology. Hers is not a solid, monolithic, seemingly linear series of stories and events linking the now with the then, the son with the father, one empire to another - instead, I offer a vulnerable, ambiguous and fragmented body of knowledge, evoking not certainty but ambiguity, not logic but emotion.
Working in drawing, textile and embroidery, I chose techniques which allow for no leeway; the needle holes can not be filled, the bleach cannot be undone, the marks cannot be erased from the pristine paper. The results are both intimate and bold, inviting a closer inspection of the materiality (and corporeality) of the pieces and themes on display.
