Pigment Inkjet Print & 22kt Gold Leaf

23 x 15 cm

Edition: 1 of 3 + AP

Janelle Low’s practice navigates the intersection of her Peranakan cultural heritage and western upbringing in the deep suburbs of Western Australia. Working primarily with the photographic image, her ongoing body of work delves into the family archives using multi-layered processes to create a new and different sort of ‘family album’. Often incorporating both image and object, Janelle’s practice reflects on memory, inheritance, and the search for a sense of belonging.

At Your Surface reflects upon the pressures of filial piety and the traditional expectations of being a ""good wife"" in marriage. Drawing on the customary use of gold for dowries, Janelle simultaneously questions and highlights the measuring of worth by obscuring the identities of the women with the application of gold leaf on
the surface of the images.
