Homage to My Mother

Moving image, 2022​​

​

Homage to My Mother is a playful reflection on the intersections of motherhood, sexuality, and domestic performance. The work features a hanging piece of fabric printed with the image of a vulva framed in a heart, suspended on a washing line. This simple act of hanging becomes a performance in itself - a tender, humourous thank-you and offering.

​

The work explores the tension between desire and domesticity, and the hidden eroticism within the home. By situating the intimate and the explicit within a mundane domestic ritual, it reframes the private sphere as a site of performance and power.

​

Balancing reverence with irreverence, Homage to My Mother invites viewers to consider how sexuality and care, shame and pride, humour and love can all coexist within the fabric of home.
