Continuing Laure Prouvost’s interest in how ideas, forms and subjectivities are inherited and passed from one generation to the next, H Oma Je features contributions by the artist alongside over one hundred friends and fellow artists, colleagues and collaborators. Each contribution pays homage to grandmothers, artistic matriarchs, inspirational elders, ancestors and forebears.
At the heart of the book is a campfire, animating a seance of sparkling words, images, memories and poetic reflections which float through space and time. Readers are invited to gather around the campfire, and to cast their own memories and reflections into the chorus of dancing flames and smouldering embers. -Publisher
