These photographs represent my love of cities. When in a city I feel its energy and various spaces, chaos and diversity. But mostly what I love are the sentinels that tower. They are quiet and strong and can change immensely with the movement of light. Shadows can make them become slithers of forms, abstracted and isolated. When humans go home at night, these are what remain. When we leave our planet, I imagine that these will remain empty and alone, a memory of what was.

Time and nature have become fragile, our need to collect and preserve our environment and how we reassess it for the future is critical. There’s almost an urgency for humans and nature to find balance as we are already contemplating ‘jumping ship’ to other planets. If we will isolate ourselves, what things of beauty and memory will we take with us? What type of Planet would you create? The intention is to re-interpret the present and create the possibility for new Worlds.

Light sensitive photographic paper is placed on the oceans tideline and exposed to the full moon. It is then taken into the darkroom and chemically processed. What you see is ocean and sand movement frozen by time exposed by the light of a planet far far away.

Inspired by early morning runs, these images describe both the ephemeral quality of light on water at sunrise and clouds that sometimes join in unison. The initial smudge of a sunrise, carried on the water and echoed within the clouds.
Blurring the edges of drawing and photography, they are the result of experimentation with developer solution as a drawing medium.
They are made by exposing photo paper under the enlarger then using developer solution to draw and smudge until the paper turns black. This ritual comes full circle with its creation, from blind light to black, within a darkroom.
42 panels. This series was selected and exhibited in the JADA prize.
Most of these panels have SOLD. Only a few left.

Ceramics was a medium that I always found daunting. Ceramicist artist Amanda Hale gently coaxed me out of this fear and we collaborated towards an exhibition. I fell in love with slip casting and slabs which gave me a new avenue in how to ‘frame’ my photos.
The delicacy that clay has prior to the firing stage is critical, but it can also be easily dropped. This made my collected photos of flora more fragile than ever. I use a traditional lithographic printing technique for paper, transferring my photos onto the surface. They are permanent once high fired. There may be a dash of different ‘colours’. Some of the slip cast vessels/vases are only glazed inside, which means that when water is added it can alter their condition on the outside adding a different look. I also go by the name Due Sorelle, meaning two sisters Italian.

On the 31 December 1769 Frenchman, De Surville, Captain of the Saint Jean Baptistensailed away with Naguinodi who was a Chief of a tribe of natives whom lived in the area of Doubtless Bay, located on the North East coast of New Zealand. He had thought that the Chief or his tribe had stolen a wooden dinghy that had broken anchor from the main ship due to rough seas. Naguinodi and his tribe had previously supplied and helped the Captain and his crew with freshwater, food and nurtured their ill.The shocking capture of the Chief, coupled with the indignity of placing him in irons, so preyed on his mind, that not even a month out to sea, on 27th January, he died.
‘The French crewmen say that Naguinodi's death was hastened by the shortness of water. It seems to have been a peculiarity of De Surville to take away with him to France specimens of indigenous people he met, probably to enable his countrymen to get information about the various places discovered, and thereby secure an advantage over the rest of the world.’ (Extract From Tasman To Marsden. Chapter III. — De Surville Visits Doubtless Bay, 1769)
This photo was taken on the evening of the 31 December at Whatuwhiwhi, overlooking Doubtless Bay.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door
Only this, and nothing more. (Edgar Allen Poe)
A storm brews over a school built in 1901, based on the grounds of a former ravens wood. The ravens are still there, not the woods.

Everything in our lives passes so quickly, time, memories, moments. I believe them to be not only the small breaths we take, but also linked to our heartbeat and linked to the earth. I believe it could have a sound and definitely a pulse. We travel with it. Slow or fast, it doesn’t matter. The journey is individual and exclusive to all. Mine, yesterday was blue. Today, who knows.
