but it has, comeu tudo
Antonio Gramsci paraphrased
by Edward Said
"To have a critical consciousness you must first have a sense of what you really are historically, although your history is a result of a huge jumble of traces left inside you."
/
When you’re trapped indoors because of lockdown, you have to adapt by using your house as your gallery and making work from what you find around you.
The print within each image depicts an aspect of my experience of the migrant experience. But our histories, our stories, are a jumble, a complex and random layering, of non-hierarchical experiences and influences. My interpretation is just one of many possibilities.
I like to think about whether history, even a small part of it, is destined to repeat itself. My pose in each image reflects that of the prints, even if the location has 'evolved'. The woman in the field looks up to the sky as if to look to the future. Her field is a place of toil. I look up because I am fortunate enough to have time to relax. My field has become a garden. A place of leisure.
