Familiars

The title Familiars evokes family, intimacy, and demons. Family & Art has been drawn from past artwork and trauma. It stands as an invitation to reflect on relationships. It also serves to show the connecting lines between feelings and the art inspired by them. Familiars has its origins inextricably linked to Family & Art (2021) which was created and distributed as a 31-page zine (mini-publication). This zine was used to demonstrate art as a cathartic process. It was intended to be spread and shared. This zine would eventually become the multimedia video work (1) Family & Art (2023) shown in this exhibition.
