Sobremesa /// Upon The Table///

>This is my current project: an attempt to bring together many different elements of my practice as a methodology to explore the idea of 'dwelling' within the context of motherhood and the Anthropocene. Many of these images are of works in progress; maquettes, video stills, prints that will be transformed into structures, etc, all originating from my kitchen dining table. 'Sobremesa' (upon or about the table) is a Spanish term used for describing what happens after a meal, such as relaxing and talking with friends and family. The table is the locus for my life as an artist and mother, a place to dwell and be present, or to gather memories and imagine futures. It is an object that is being constantly eroded and yet it generates ideas and facilitates growth.

This body of work will be exhibited as an installation for my final MA exhibition at the University of Leeds in September 2022.
