IGTRAUMA responds to the premise of weep for painting, re-interpreting the essence of a ‘reverence experience’ of a painting that has “moved them in a deep and lasting way.” I considered my encounters with numerous paintings where the narratives transferred carry loss, grief and trauma — as a result of colonisation. In sharing a similar personal narrative, the idea of transferring the ‘shared experience’ via artwork mirrors that of a trauma, as passed down through generations of colonised peoples. The materiality of IGTRAUMA expresses this relationship via its materiality incorporating notions of domesticity — commonly a space where the symptoms of trauma are both formed, expressed and transferred.
