This proposed body of ideas/works in 2d/3d installation mode, has been developed over the last year or so.

Slide7: 

As a foreigner now living and working in another social grouping, you become very aware of, the how I am aspect of your existence. Apart from the physical signs - blushing, blanching and sweating, that register my newness to the region, there’s also the way I sound. You develop a heightened sense of the differences between… …here and there [Australia]

Slide9: 

So it’s not that I am lost or dislocated, more that I need to remember, what that displacement could mean when I make work here in this region. What John Durham Peters said about ‘Movement’ being, ‘one of the central resources for social description’1 has become a central part of my practice.

Slide10: 

However, Homi Bhabha warned that, “We should become increasingly aware that we may also be in danger of producing a politics of informational “intimacy” that does not so easily translate into agency at the level of public action and representation.”2 But I read too that, ‘It is possible to transit back & forth, be in and out, go here and there – to be a nomad and yet be in exile every where.’3

Slide11: 

So I have started to deal with these two things in the work – movement & being. Hence the visual references via the ‘Art backpacks,’ the directional arrow signage and the figurative male/female sign imagery used and understood by tourist and resident alike.

Slide13: 

So its what I’ve seen, heard and read, about these aspects of lived experience, in an art critical context.
