The Object Of My Gaze (2015-2025 is a multidisciplinary series that explores the visual act of Black matrilineage (search, recover, revive – continue) in order to reclaim evidence of maternal histories. Comprising of video, creative writing, neon light, soundscapes, animation, photography, drawings, ceramics and sculptural jewellery, (some which is available to see on this website) this series offers the viewer an intimate journey and insight into Marcia’s conversation with her mother. This act, not only reanimates a matrilineal tradition but reinstates an understanding that creativity has always resided in her ancestral bloodline: she is not the first, she follows a lineage, including her own mother.
