SHE THAT CAME BEFORE ME
She that came before me is an artistic journey into my maternal cultural history, created whilst completing an artistic residence in Singapore, the birthplace of Por Por. The photographic works and video that features in the project draw upon the family archive of photographs, shared stories, familiar places and the strong desire to be more.
