Marble & Mud is a creative manifestation of my identify examined under the lens of my Greek whakapapa. Years of exploring my relationship with my heritage and upbringing have brought rise to the same core themes with an undeniable flow, be it in icons, colours, symbols or sound. This exhibition will be a collage of visual art, showing mixed media, textiles, writing, projection and performance art.
My experience of self within the Greek diaspora is layered with love and pain, beauty and rejection. My gender, sexuality, purpose and ways of being both clash in conflict and yearn in longing for home. Processing inherited trauma, internalised colonisation and cultural displacement currently sits in a dreamscape of classical pop art, stories from the village, and where I find myself between the Marble and Mud.
