Installation at Gosford Regional Gallery

PAPER AND PLACE 2019

Exhibited at Gosford Regional Gallery, NSW

My work is informed by my own experience as a migrant. I create site-specific works about the voyages of people and their interaction with the environment and the ecology they bring with them.
The large scale installations explore the intersection between place, memory and identity.

Hand made raw cotton paper in collaboration with Darren Simpson from Creative Paper Tasmania and Penelope Lee.
My drawings, with gum tree’s natural pigment, translate my encounters with the landscape as a form of language. Crosses found on trees are a judgement to be no more.

I collected and processed parts of the landscape, plants and soil, onto hand made paper. Size variable.

Jarrah timber display cabinets, hand made paper, natural pigment, paper and coal casting, relief and digital print.
Display cabinet by John Greenway
The work is a result of a residency in the Blue Mountains where I visited unprotected sites that are under threat from coal mining, where the invisible underground mining can crack old stone pagodas in the Garden of Stones and stop water feeding the downstream landscape. I call this body of work ‘Fissures’, the marks left in the landscape.

North Head Project, Quarantine Station

North Head Project, Quarantine Station

The work is about the disinfecting carbolic acid showers room.
Because of the geographical position of Australia, viruses are perceived, in our mind and through the media, as too far and yet there are so close. They become pretty pictures, micro representations looking beautifully abstract and disconnected.
I have chosen to work with hand made paper, it adds the layer of memory of my hand casting the paper. It allows me to record the shapes and details of the place, evocative of words; casted corrugated metal from the shower recess, bolts and nuts are punctuations of migrants’ stories.
I wanted the overall experience of looking at them not to be perceived as a threat but similar to the first mouthful one eats; it is only when you get close that you realise it is too late.
