Using traditional symbols and title's of song lyrics I create compositions and stories to evoke the emotional cues that explore the connection of place and memory .
As Indigenous people's moved around they created songs to map significant sites,food sources and places that were passed down through generations. Taking a contemporary approach of the tradition of Songlines in Aboriginal culture, I am interested in how music and lyrics have a strong connection to memory.The sound of music can transport us to a time passed,the words can evoke an even deeper emotional response.

This artwork titled with lyrics from Dusty Springfield's 'I Only Want to be With You' represents the journey and celebration of love .
Symbols for Long journey, Gathering, dancing /celebration ,sharing stories and the traditional Wiradjuri Cross hatching to represent land.
