“Stories My Mother Never Told”
Artist Statement
By artist Jenny Ashby
This installation based exhibition is an informed response to my research into the institutionalisation and the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families and their homelands and the often untold truths regarding this accepted practice by government and religious organisations up until the early 1970's. My work responds to my learning of the cruelty and inhumane treatment of these children within institutional care throughout Australia. My work is a personal response to the stories told to me by my children’s aboriginal family, friends, and people that I have interviewed as well as research into these issues. My artwork is a comparative reflection on my own childhood memories, and the freedom that I lived with as a child while growing up in a white Christian, farming family, as opposed to aboriginal children forced to grow up within the same period of the 60's and the 70's, behind the walls of institutions such as the Cootamundra, Parramatta,La Perouse Girls Training Homes, and the Hay Women's Jail and "the stories we were never told".
The drawings and prints act as a visual narrative and are laden with text and marks in the form of graffiti and inscriptions, similar to those found on surfaces within institutions. The text also takes on the appearance of letter writing to my mother as a conversation, a personal reflection of my own childhood and my own responses to this research as a type of diary entry. The text which is layered and often unreadable onto paper which has been embossed and treated to mimic the brick walls of institutions hopefully encourages inquiry on closer examination of the narrative within.
The use of shadows within my work act as a metaphor of presence and absence within the space. The shadows of the little girl on the swing are significant within my work acting as a universal symbol of freedom and at the same time lost freedom when used in context of the cell wall drawings.
The video projections of the little girl’s shadows swinging and laughing were filmed as a site specific installation within the Hay Women’s Jail. This video installation is superimposed with sound of the harsh locking of cell doors which echoe within the confinement of the institution where many girls spent part of their childhood.
By subjecting the viewer to a multi sensory experience within the environment of the gallery, through the incorporation of projected images laden with relative sound, combined with universal icons of objects and image, I hope to encourage memory recall of the viewers own childhood using associated experience as a conduit to the narrative. Hopefully through this association the viewer becomes actively involved within the space and therefore he or she becomes personally involved with the work as the narrator in their own right.

PS' (A Shadow is a 2dimensional projection of a 3 dimensional object, so maybe the 3rd dimension is the shadow and projection of a 4th dimension)
Acording to Duchamp we people are just a projection of an unknown 4th dimension.
