My studies consider the politics of war
commemoration and the limits of representation
in the Australian context. How does the state
remember war through memorials, monuments and
museums? What are the political, ethical and
aesthetic limits influencing the representation
of war memory?

My work is about seeing, seeing things like they haven't
been seen before. It is about my love for detail and form.
My vehicle along this journey of stillness
is nature, is life itself.

"Salinity
could be seen as a heritage of colonisation, the result of
dispossessing the traditional owners of their land. As a metaphor,
salt may become the next uncaring white invader".

Candidate: PhD (Visual Arts) Photomedia
My research project in the Photomedia workshop
explores how alienation affects perceptions of identity.
This is being undertaken in a number of seperate areas of
investigation. Firstly, by analysing aspects of familial heritage
that are lost through the process of migration, I seek to
address issues of self identity and displacement. Secondly,
by pursuing documented cases where sections of the community
are outcast, I am tying issues related to the space of the
personal to spaces of the public.
The theory section of my thesis addresses online activism
and real world outcomes. My paper looks at various online
communities, issues of individual and collective identity
and how the Internet is used to create socila networks.

The two absolute essentials to life as we know it are water
and air and that is what I am ruminating on in my current
series of lenticulars, featuring water, wind and waves.

For almost 20 years now I have investigated alternative ways
of seeing and presenting 'the world', via maps. Using surprising
materials I wish to affect viewer's perceptions of their image
of the world.

My research project in the Printmedia and Drawing workshop
will focus on personal/collective identity and Australian
Indigenous culture. Through written and practical work, aspects
of family heritage, spirituality and belonging will be explored.
Part of this research will involve travelling to Northern
Queensland where my Ingigenous family came from, field trip
such as this forming an integral part of the process of discovery
and piecing together the various jigsaws of identity.

Natural Phenomena as Metaphor for Being: The Calculability
of the World.
My thesis, in print media, investigates how we document natural
processes and systems and focuses particularly on the dynamic
movement of particles in a passing ocean wave. The desire
to tabulate, calculate, and predict our existence can lead
to incoherence and uncertainty.

A group of large scale geometric forms designed and placed
to suggest simultaneously a sense of balance and tension.
The scale encourages the viewer to actively participate in
discovering elements of the work which are not immediately
obvious.

The
Video installations speculate on core Buddhist concepts (dependant
origination, impermanence and emptiness) and deal with the
nature and manipulation of screens, space/place. Key to this
is a phenomenological approach to the work in space.

My
research project realised through the Sculpture and Photo
media workshops, will draw on over twenty years of travelling
and living in remote and Central Australia. I am interested
in the significance of what I articulate as a ‘kind
of nomadism’ as a way in which place is experienced
and defined. What is the relationship between place and be/longing?

'at home'. I am collecting materials and spending time employing
domestic techniques to create metaphorical homes.

My
research examines personal sites, "Home pages" as
a hybrid genre linked to traditions of autobiography and self
portraiture. The construction and maintenance hold of such
sites have implications for communities online and off.
