Mothertongue looks at the innate human desire to forge connections with people and with place. A lost language of body messaging is uncovered by way of still and moving imagery, making way for the delivery of messages, through conscious and sub-conscious movement, suggestion and gesture.
Using the body as a voice, this imagery reveals a truth that could otherwise be obscured by words. Considering the body as a place, and place as an extension of the body, these living stories are framed and served as a chapter within a greater common narrative. Largely a lens based work this portrait project sees both traditional and experimental methods of presentation and representation.
