2022. The Forgetting, Sargent’s Daughters, New York City, NY, US. Exhibition detail. This series was inspired by the flower arrangements in a vintage Soviet-era publication I bought from an antique seller in Lithuania. The frozen, masked figures pose at the shifting crossroads between culture, history and identity.

Exhibition detail: Faith Ringgold cloth-framed painting Of My Two Handicaps on wall, with two of Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party plates on either side of my porcelain sculpture Curupira (2014). ‘Women’s Work’ sought to establish the influence of handwork tradition through the work of contemporary women artists. Observing historical objects side-by-side with current works prompts viewers to re-evaluate historic works and understand them as the art objects they were always intended to be.
