Restless



The spirit of an early settler lingers uneasily around the 1880s homestead and garden. In hindsight she is aware that processes of colonisation continue to impinge upon today. Thus, she cannot rest.

​She merges with and reflects qualities of her environment - affects by place inscribed over time upon the body. She has acquainted deeply and etched a presence.

And after all, she has nowhere else to go.
Picture
I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung and neighbouring Bunurong and Boon wurrung peoples of the eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the unceded lands on which I live, work and dance. I pay deep respect to their Ancestors and Elders, past and present. I extend that respect to Traditional Owners of the many Countries on which I undertake my work and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. I pay deep respect to First Nations elders past and present, who have listened to Country and danced, sung and told stories in and about their places for millennia.
