My Grandmother

 

My favourite portrait subject would have to be my grandmother. The portrait evokes deep memories and connects me to my culture.

“My best memories of Nan are visiting her at her house. She would always play with my hair. I have strong memories of her singing to us in language and telling stories as little children.”

My latest focus is incorporating Nan Chin’s Gubbi Gubbi and Wakka Wakka language into my artwork, as well as featuring it on clothing designs.
