Catalogue accompanying exhibition searching for my mother’s garden held at Art Gallery of Mississauga in 1994, examines "the universal quest for self-determination, the quest for perspective on alignments with the blurry 'communities' of one's own circumstance. Each of the eight artists in this exhibition is a complex amalgamation of different associations with cultures (foreign and domestic), genders and nations, and in an intimate sense with people and places which form a history." (Quote taken from catalogue.) Catalogue includes curatorial statements, artist statements from each artists, colour photographs and a list of works included in the exhibition.

Texts by Stuart Reid, Michael Davidson, Eshrat Erfanian, Natalka Husar, Donna James, Milada Kovacova, Zachery Longboy, Evelyn Mitsui, and Penelope Stewart.
