Artist Statement

Anna-Ting Möller was born in China and adopted by a Swedish family at the age of two. Möller's practice investigates a personal and symbolic understanding of ancestry and origin through the medium of kombucha. Such explorations of this material as mother, offspring, caregiver, contaminant, and the necessity of continuous care. Möller cultivates the kombucha culture with tea and sugar—both materials rooted in colonial histories. Such pasts are shared and further complicated through the exploration of the colonial roots of adoption and its fraught relationship with Northern European economies, which contemplates child adoption in the West through a postcolonial lens, as an economic structure.
