First Home

First Home is a multicolour linocut exploring the enduring biological and emotional bond between mother and child. Informed by research on fetal microchimerism, the work reflects my feminist, domestic-based practice and interest in care, embodiment, and women’s lived experiences

The project moved from research and writing to collage, drawing, and finally relief printmaking. This translation across mediums mirrors the work’s conceptual focus, bringing scientific knowledge and personal experience into a tactile, symbolic image.
