Mothers Tongue
Laura Demian, Mothers Tongue 2006

Mothers Tongue
Laura Demian, Age 21

Laura’s work is based on the philosophy of Proust - 'One can’t possess the present, but one can possess the past'. She explains that in her eyes: ‘Former histories combine to make a new history. It’s a form of recycling. Our lives are punctuated by objects, feelings and ideas that are endlessly retrieved and reused. Commercial waste recycling is like psychoanalysis. Both systems aim to re-generate by sifting through forgotten material.’

Eileen Agar, Angel of Anarchy 1936-40Laura was inspired by Eileen Agar’s Angel of Anarchy, 1936-40.
