Belonging(s)
A playful exploration of the relationships people have with their possessions - what they choose to own, identify with and hope to convey. Belonging(s) comprises five characters - all imagined but inspired by people she has previously encountered or observed. Ceramic busts sit alongside a series of illustrated prints relating to each character, designed to offer some further context to each individual, and drawing on her practice of working across both 2D and 3D disciplines.
<<Millie's work navigates with great levity the complicated and sometimes competing or contradictory dynamics of socially-engaged art - being humorous, but not flippant, sincere but not earnest; warm but not sentimental; and critical but not unkind. Her work is coherent and straightforward, full of subtleties and complexities, and her strength of conviction and personality as an artist shine through it.>> Sam Waters, Curator
