Domesticidad by Monique Baqués | Opening Event

Developed over several years, Domesticidad explores the relationship between home, the female body, identity and belonging through painting, collage, drawing, embroidery and mixed media.

The house appears throughout the work as a recurring form: fragile, unstable, floating, falling, sometimes without doors or windows, and often closely intertwined with the female figure. Women carry houses, inhabit them, escape from them or gradually become inseparable from them.

Baqués also incorporates familiar domestic materials such as tea towels, aprons, kitchen wipes, safety pins and fish hooks. In her work, these everyday objects begin to shift in meaning, suggesting care, protection and repair, but also restraint, vulnerability and sacrifice.

Having lived in six countries across four continents before settling in Brisbane, Baqués brings her own experience of movement and resettlement into the exhibition. Domesticidad considers how home is created through memory, relationships, routines and objects, and how it can hold both comfort and tension at the same time.

Join us for the opening evening, meet Monique and be among the first to experience this new body of work at Creative Room Art Space.
