INHERITED by Yuko Edwards & Kelly O'Brien

The exhibition explores what is valued, inherited and made visible within family histories. Kelly O'Brien's No Rest for the Wicked explores the cycle of labour endured by poor and working class women across three generations. She uses photography to examine what is passed between generations--not only objects and images, but identities, knowledge, labour and social histories. She examines the often-unrecognised labour of women and the knowledge passed between generations. Yuko Edwards' What You See in my Face is a look into a racially blended family and the shift in time and place that occurs when a family combines within a generation. When the restructuring of love, land and stories move along race and class lines, is the family ever really blended? The work demonstrates inherited knowledge and draws heavily from the family's archive and new pictures that reflect that progression through time and space.
