Tinning Street, Brunswick, May 2015
Alien Artefacts continues an investigation into the poetic relationships between materiality and the self, and the implications of the material encounter.
Employing liminal studio processes that are temporal, conjectural and provisional, and using a materiality that is mutable and sometimes unstable, the artist engages in an intimate archaeology to unearth the vestige of a personal, interior terrain.
The emergent objects represent markers in a fragmented landscape, an environment that is in a state of becoming.
