Gallery Installation and Temporary Installation
Location: ether ohnetitel gallery, Napier Street Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia
Installation by Andree Greenwell. Exhibited as part of “Earwitness: Excursions in Sound” curated by Sonia Leber, 18 November - 27 December 1994. Text reprinted from Earwitness brochure with permission.

Details
Mother Tongue is based on audio recordings of four generations of women within Greenwell's family: grandmothers, mother and aunts, cousins, sisters and nieces. Through the stripping back of language into sound textures, Greenwell examines how structure, dialect, intonation and articulation can be a learned/inherited experience.
