recent work

tamrin ingram


Within my artistic practice, I layer my writing, photographs and family records to construct narratives that play between fact and fiction or history and myth. The bulk of my work is centered around a family curse that serves as the hypothetical root cause of generational trauma. In reality the disproportionate illnesses and untimely deaths that have historically plagued my extended family have no single origin. Instead it is, perhaps, an unfortunate combination of years of local improper management of hazardous wastes and their removal, of rural pesticide pollution, of illness, of lack of access to healthcare, and of systemic poverty that does not allow upward mobility. We are communities outmatched against irresponsible governments and industries who care little for our wellbeing. Within the narrative of my work this generational trauma comes from a family curse, the curse is a metaphor for our position.
