Artist's Statement
My daughter and I were invited to take part in Namamahay flash artist-in-residency project in Bataan, Philippines. As a mother-daughter duo, we made an art project that reflected the site (the resort we stayed in for 14 days) and worked with the local crafts industry. We picked Casa Lubao as our site and worked with the craftspersons from the mosaic tile workshop to produce bespoke "plates". Each plate depicted a different story as they were meant to symbolised the past, present and future stories of Casa Lubao. The dining room became our space for the plates, where we hosted a dinner party to share all the stories over food. Intertwining "...utilitarian objects served to link everyday life to the fabric of myth...
