Curator’s notes
An evocative moment in Night Cries summarising the depth of care required. The Aboriginal daughter, now a primary carer of her ailing mother, is bound to this role and place by the mother’s dependency upon her. It suggests a responsibility that comes at the cost of the Aboriginal daughter’s own freedom and journey.
