Your solo exhibition “Matrilineal” at 100 Tonson Foundation was one of three shows, along with Flowers Gallery and Centre for Heritage, Arts & Textile (CHAT) in Hong Kong, that opened in November. What is this exhibition built around?

This latest series builds on a work that I created for the Asia Pacific Triennial 9 at the Queensland Art Gallery, 18/28: The Singhaseni Tapestries (2018). During that project, I pivoted towards focusing on my personal history, which coincided with my mother’s passing in 2016. The more recent tapestries are a homage to her and the women who were instrumental in raising me. In particular, I had one remaining aunt, my mother’s older sister, who was able to share stories from their past and reminisce on everything they went through. Unfortunately, she also died last July, shutting the window into their history. I began to question how to create a work that relates to what they experienced, historically—and on a more personal level, how to keep those memories alive for the next generation, despite these women passing on.
