Inherited: A House And Body Haunted By Familial Trauma examines a space of dispelling the hauntings of trauma from my grandparents’ old (and my current) home through a creative practice. Writing, drawing, and performance practices engage, extract, suspend, and relinquish current and past traumas that are embedded into the grooves and crevices of the house by giving them over to the land that my family has inhabited for seven generations. This body of work attempts to cleanse my home from the arresting hauntings of trauma by utilizing traditional practices in rubbings and frottage with the belief that they suspend seen and unseen energies accumulated in the house.
