THE FAMILY MOULD series (2009)
*Please click thumbnail to view images
The Family Mould continues Ilona's exploration of self identity. Prompted by the birth of her first child, Ilona uses her artistic practice to focus on her family history, demonstrating that the deeply personal is in many cases the universal. Her selectively hand coloured photographs reinterpret images from her family album by rephotographing them in a contemporary context.

The series was exhibited at the Town Hall Gallery (Melbourne) in 2009 with three short films, one of which focused on times and places that have been significant in the artist's personal growth. This work invites the audience to examine how their own family experiences have shaped both their lives and themselves.
