Domesticated Materiality

"Domesticated Materiality" - reflects an interest in exploring the cultural and social meanings associated with domestic objects and how they are used in everyday life. It may also critique traditional gender roles and expectations placed on women in the domestic sphere. The term suggests a thoughtful and deliberate use of often overlooked or dismissed materials, exploring the intersections of art, domestic life, and cultural values. This work pays tribute to the domesticated women before me, narrating the cultural fabric and rich lineage of my arts practice(s). It pays homage to the past, present, and future evolution of creative practice, starting with my grandmother and culminating in my own use of digital materials to share the herstory.
