time with you
Work in progress.
This work is made with a pinhole camera. The series explores the layered stories, histories and memories connected to places I’ve known since childhood.
Narratives associated with places are formed and told from different points of view. During the pandemic, many people developed stronger relationships with certain places - realising, perhaps more than ever, how much we needed them.
Through conversations with Dharawal and Dhurga elders, and written history, I was given a deeper knowledge of the repeated violence and harm that has been committed by European settlers in the Illawarra region over time. True connection to the places we love involves listening and responding to the stories embedded within them.
