๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ By Perri Huggett ๐จ'Residual Paths' is centred on the quiet, persistent pull to return home, both as a physical place and as a remembered emotional state. The exhibition explores grief not only as loss, but as longing: a desire to return to a time, a body, or a version of the self that once felt safe and held.
Through themes of womanhood and girlhood, the works reflect on how identity is shaped by memory. Girlhood appears as a soft, fractured landscape; tender, naive, and unresolved, while womanhood emerges as its echo: heavier with awareness, responsibility, and distance from innocence. Nostalgia is treated not as comfort, but as ache; a space where memory blurs with imagination, and where the past becomes both refuge and wound.
The exhibition considers "home" as something continually chased but never fully reached. It is your family dinner table, your childhood bedroom, your body before it learned to brace itself. Grief threads through the works as an undercurrent, asking whether we mourn people, places, or versions of ourselves left behind.
Ultimately, this exhibition is about circling back, following emotional trails and residual paths in an attempt to return to what once was, knowing that arrival is impossible, yet the longing remains.
