‘Nightshade’ is a restrained and poetic exploration of a particularly difficult and confronting subject – domestic violence and coercive control. Wendy Catling examines her mother’s experiences during her 20-year relationship with Catling’s father.
The publication which traverses the many addresses lived at by the artist and her parents and uses a mixture of archival and contemporary imagery interspersed with brief snatches of memories related by Catling’s mother, has been sensitively designed by Kim Mumm Hansen to form a darkly moving and compelling personal narrative with universal resonance.
