LULU MAY SAMUEL ‘They came through me’ - dec 23

THEY CAME THROUGH ME speaks of all the creative energy that comes through me to produce out into the surrounding world ~ woven through motherhood, in the fabric of my surroundings using dried grasses from Dharug and Gundungurra land, intertwined with my children, within the weave I stay with each child that has chosen to come through me, forever bound, forever connected. An ode to finding self over and over again in a familiar but different form each time.

Whilst making this body of work, I felt into the resilience as a mother, as a woman. The thread breaking, the grasses snapping, the silk ripping, the resilience to keep rethreading the thread, to keep making a mark, to keep creating the weave in the best way that I could, guided by intuition, weaving my own reality, shaping my own experience within the creation of my work mirroring back to self my creation, intuition and weaving within motherhood, within becoming their mother and in turn mothering self.
