RESIDUE: HEATHER PIKE & VICTORIA LOVECCHIO

Residue is an exhibition exploring what remains or our personal histories when people make their homes in places far from their families and cultural origins. Heather Pike and Victoria Lovecchiohave found that the absence of the bonds of extended family and culture has left them with the freedom to create their own cultural emblems, family heirlooms and signifiers. Despite the distance of time and geography, we all yearn to connect with our origins. This is a visual exploration of the physical and tangible aspects of family, individuality and inheritance as well as the metaphysical connection we hold to our ancestors.
