Titled with lyrics from ' Your Song' Elton John
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.
