Go on, have a look with the magnifying glass,” urges Kiyomi Talaulicar when we drop in to see her ongoing solo exhibition. As we examine a painting of a bench closely, we see intricate layers which are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. “I enjoy painting in layers as it triggers various choices and possibilities in the creative process, and reflects the kind of continual search and self-reinvention that every person experiences throughout a lifetime,” adds the 58-year-old artist.
A Woven Story for Mother is Talaulicar’s first solo exhibition since 2017. The works of her exhibition center around the passing of her ailing mother in August 2019 and the death of her mother-in-law within a month. “It [the exhibition] is about coming to terms with the loss,” says Talaulicar. “This includes moments of grief as well as joy and emotional closeness when you think of certain happy memories too. In a sense, you are reflecting on this whole period as something beautiful, and cherishing the emotions which lead to this feeling of missing their presence, but are also grateful for what you shared,” she muses.
