Activity

November 2019 - April 2020
The project took its title from a conversation that Beverley had with an older friend. Speaking out of turn, the artist was met with the reply “Yuh Figet Yuhself!”. The statement was made in jest but served as a reminder that she had literally and figuratively forgotten herself.
