Who’s Your Mother, Who’s Your Brother I & II

Sumi ink (suminagashi) on unryu paper

These two works were made using suminagashi, Japanese paper marbling technique. They are inspired by a Bible passage and is an exploration into the concepts of family and belonging. Family is not just my nuclear or biological family but include my extended family and beyond to include my global human family. If the feeling of belonging was a value nurtured and cultivated for all, would we still be killing each other?
