Abstract landscape
Visually inspired by the Blue Mountains. The valleys,rivers and streams and flowers. It has been my home for over 20yrs.

In Aboriginal culture Songlines were used to map country. The songs were passed to each other to tell where food,sacred sights and direction among other things.
In my work I am interested in the connection between memory and the spaces we occupy. Music evokes emotional responses that can transport us to a time and place of our past.
Exploring the connection between landscape and memory and more specifically the remnants and traces left in environments either in a physical form or as emotion.
Aboriginal peoples have walked this country for thousands of years, leaving tracks which are both tangible and spiritual.
I challenge the idea of ' Past' as something no longer existing. I believe it remains,in our memory and the land.In what we see and what we cannot.
