Works for exhibition focus on the footprints of agri- and horti-cultures, patterns of water catchment and dispersal and dust as the material of creation, disintegration and re-formation.
The current study of Dust raises comparisons of structure and conglomeration - of how formal design and random collection interconnect in a continual process. The meaning of mortality is contemplated and how that may be represented is the purpose of current explorations.
