‘Extended family’ is an installation articulated around real events and the fictions and cautionary tales I read from my childhood onwards. The piece looks at the impact of patriarchy from a personal angle. As a child and teenager, I struggled with the nature of family and found ways of escaping in books and films.  As an adult daughter, I moved away but remained bound by emotional ties. This piece was developed following the death of my parents, as a closure. I have put together characters, materials, and ideas from writers, film-makers, and artists like La Fontaine, Bruce Chadwin, François Truffaut, Bernard Palissy, and Judy Chicago to materialize the blurred boundary between fiction and 'reality' and to express how I perceived the limitations and the scope of human experience.
