The exhibition On the Wave of Seeking Maternal Memories extends Halomei’s research-based practice, Post-Austronesian Barkcloth Art Practice. Centered on barkcloth, a traditional fiber craft rooted in the Indigenous cultures of Taiwan and produced through beating and stretching tree bark, the works emerge from processes deeply embedded in bodily labor, natural environments, and community practices.

As Halomei encounters barkcloth practices across different Austronesian regions, recurring sensorial affinities and cultural resonances shape her understanding of maternal memory. Rather than a fixed origin, maternal memory is understood as a state continuously formed through movement, connection, and creation. Like a wave, memory remains in motion and is repeatedly activated and transformed through material engagement, spatial perception, and everyday practice.
