I returned to the Garw Valley in Sth Wales in 2022 to explore childhood experiences and the liminal space I occupy today as a mother without children. This ongoing project has led to forensic and spiritual connections with the earth and a bodily engagement with matter that has enabled me to explore maternal and grief narratives.
I used the space as a retreat. With three exhibitions coming up, I wanted to place the work in a clean space and see where I was at. I’ve been using new materials and working at a different scale, so it was particularly good to use the two areas within the space to look at things in isolation, and also to place pieces together.
