WRITE ME A HOME is a 2025 project belonging to the genre of Photoliterature. Inspired by French artist Sophie Calle, it addresses memory and family history through the use of bodywriting, narrative art, videography, art writing, installation art, life writing and performance art.

​

Written on pieces of fabric, called 'pieces of story' are excerpts from the beginning of a novel about the artist's family home and history. These pieces of story were arranged in different areas of the property and observed as their environment changed them over the course of a week, through photography and annotations. 

​

The last step of this project was for the artist to portray herself with her own text, and involving bodywriting for the piece of story that lay beside the lake, and inside the water during the last take.

​​

Exploring themes of identity and belonging, this project is both an homage to family and a reflection on the transmission of family history - a scattered throughout childhood one, thus playing on the fallibility of memory and time passing: in the same way the family home changes through the decades, destroying her own history in the process, nature changes the story the artist has written, modifying the memories it has been given.

​

Coming from the idea that these pieces of story portray the artist's family life and history, and that words often act as clothes in bodywriting experiments, the pieces of stories became a form of clothing - one that cannot be controlled, playing around with its surrounding elements such as wind, rain, water and grass, but mostly one that doesn't fit and that the artist has to force around her body, much alike the transmission of family history.
