Skinfolk, Kinfolk is a melancholic meditation of mapping and meandering through my mother’s linear years. Conversing with her private histories, memories and experiences through the inanimate – the stories which were never told while growing up, but muttered and pieced together through the family archive. The project allows me to access my feelings through abstraction, explore my relationships with the women in my family and to understand the spectrum of differences of intergenerational traditions.
