THE FATE
OF THINGS
PRAGUE
2019
The Behal Fejér Institute, Prague
7 October 2019
The artworks in The Fate of Things are a response to recalled family stories and histories in an attempt to emotionally reconnect with lost family members, particularly her female predecessors. While this exhibition references post-memory and intergenerational trauma, it is from the perspective of an Australian artist whose family relocated from Europe in circumstances that will be relatable to those who have suffered diaspora, trauma or isolation.
