About the Item
This elegant silver edged crystal bowl once sat on her mother’s dresser. One of a series of photographs taken by Shani Mootoo—the ‘History Revisited Series’ captures images of objects and spaces from her childhood home in Trinidad. The glass bowl inherited by the artist is now filled with a collection of mementos. Like the family member who travels 'back home' to visit aged relatives, Mootoo has photographed the spaces therein to record--perhaps for posterity, perhaps for the nostalgia, the history of generations laid one on top of the other, each layer creating a pentimento of stories. Her compelling photographs invite the viewer to explore these intimate images. What do you see?
“It’s more than a still life…in a sense it’s a portrait with reference to my mother who apparently I look like.” Shani Mootoo
An accomplished writer, filmmaker, painter and photographer Shani Mootoo earned a BFA from the University of Western Ontario, and an MA in English from the University of Guelph. She has been longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Her most recent novel, Polar Vortex, has been shortlisted for the 2020 Giller Prize.
Mootoo's paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions locally and internationally, most notably at the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Queen’s Museum in NYC, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, and at the Venice Biennale.
Her videos include “English Lesson”, “Wild Woman in The Woods” and “Her Sweetness Lingers,” and have been screened in film and video festivals and art exhibitions locally and internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.

- Sharon's Sunroom 1/5 - A photograph of carefully curated collected itemsBy Shani MootooLocated in Bloomfield, ONKnown for her photographic portraits of interior spaces, Shani Mootoo reveals the curious and often emotive personal narratives of her subjects. This giclee print by Shani Mootoo is editioned, 1/5. The work is matted, framed. Unframed size is 21 x 31.5 inches. It is also available in two other sizes, 12 x 28 (framed 21 x 27 inches, edition of 10, $2,000); and 16 x 24 inches (25 x 33 inches framed, edition of 8, $2,600.). Mootoo describes how this image was created: "I was at my printer's studio working on a body of photographs when we were interrupted by a customer who needed his attention for a few minutes. I agreed on a pause so that that customer could be accommodated, and my printer suggested I roam the garden, as there was a lot to see there. Just before the exit to the garden was a room crammed with pastel knick-knacks. A glass sliding door stood closed between me and this room, which seemed to be a combination of very special private space and a storage room. I immediately had the sense that I was seeing a photograph waiting to be taken and, as I had my Sony Rx100m7 camera around my neck, I ran back to my printer and asked if I could go into the room. He generously said, 'By all means, go wherever you'd like". On entering, there wasn't much room to negotiate, but I was struck by the carefully...Category
