pallay yuyay: to gather to remember 

​pallay and yuyay are two words from the Quechua language family, the first means ‘to gather’ and the second ‘to remember’.  The exhibition is a reflection on the interconnectedness of creative practice, plants and personal cultural practices and ritual. By bringing into proximity what was previously scattered and seemingly unrelated, the process of gathering is a form of remembering, is a form of repair.  To invoke the power of gathering the plant yerba maté (ilex paraguariensis) will be brought into the gallery and rosemary (salvia rosmarinus) as a symbol of remembrance.  Although this is very much about my own path to return to ancestral and ritual connection, I am curious to see what we might remember together in this space.

The exhibition was on show from 6 March until 9 April 2021 at VERGE Gallery.
