The archive of a life is abundant. In the touring exhibition What We Hold, a series of photographic and sculptural still lifes by Meera Margaret Singh traces familial histories and memories through objects – some joyful, others haunted. Books, shells, vases, trinkets, rocks, and plants narrate the time spent and the stories shared among family. These are stories of loss, migration, marriage, rupture, illness, recovery, healing, and love. Through her large-scale photographs and sculptures, Singh playfully considers the varied definitions of “inheritance” to ask: what will I choose to carry? To keep? What will I pass on? What will I let go? The artist creates portraits of generations of her family made up of collected and inherited objects, each of which reflects the intimacies and intricacies of the lives of its owners.
Presented in partnership with Gallery TPW, supported and circulated by the Ontario Arts Council.
