This piece of work considers a parallel between the mother and the planet. Both give life and offer the conditions that have the potential to care for life. Our planet - the space of our becoming, that hosts us, keeps us, supports us. The Terra firma that we imagine will always be there, will always provide for us. The mother, the one in whose love (whatever form that takes) we develop our own attachments.

In her memory, Duncan created Imprint, a poetic animated film that serves as a heartfelt tribute. Using the letterpress and craft material she passed down to him, the film brings hand-printed art to life with vibrant animation, evocative imagery and a beautifully designed soundscape. Imprint celebrates how the relationships we build echo outward, leaving an enduring legacy.
