Borrowed Kinships is an installation of two woven forms that viewers can move around or beneath – exploring relational kinship from multiple angles. Lit by spotlights, the forms cast shifting shadows, extending their presence. The work engages with kinship as relation: not only inherited, but formed, chosen, or borrowed. Rotating gently on fishing line, the forms’ moving shadows embody ancestral ties while creating a sense of movement that embraces the fluid nature of relation.

Borrowed Kinship #1 was exhibited at Mars Gallery as part of their 2025 NAIDOC Week Show.

Borrowed Kinship is being displayed at Light Square Gallery as part of the National First Nations Weaving Salon.
