MEMORY PROJECT
I m interested in exploring relationships between memory & forgetting
Individuals curate their own past through photography and selectively present
the curated series of images to represent themselves and their identity in the present moment. This curation of images produces a nostalgic romantic self view and obscures the selective process of forgetting.
The edited past omits many images, and there for allows an individual to "forget" painful or shameful past actions and events. The artist can bring to light these invisible memories in an imagined version of the past that may reveal other versions of the past. This selective remembering and forgetting operates at the individual level, but also at a cultural and national level. The history of nations, cultures and individuals are constantly re invented and edited.These moving memory collages present a nostalgic, romantic past but also hint at other darker interpretations.

URBAN DREAMING—LANDSCAPE & MEMORY
Many of the imgaes in my photography, digital imaging and printmaking work refer to themes of memory—the unseen history of the urban Australian landscape. I am drawn to photographs of houses in the urban setting as they are also an embodiment of our collective dreams. Houses, like people present an outside facade and hide many secrets and histories of events that we cannot see. I like to reveal the hidden dreaming of suburbia as well as referring to the longer ancient and unseen memory of the indigenous landscaspe that urban houses sit upon. The suburbs float on a thin veneer, covering and hiding deeper layers of history, much of which is unseen and selectively and collectively forgotten.
