Bio
My work explories memory and that feeling of our place in the world. Its been made very clear to me the differences between living in Australia and the north of England where I was born. I love Australia but part of me occasionally  misses that leaden sky that sits right above your head. In Australia the sky is open as if the lid has been taken off. So I explore the differences, the memories and the challenges of living a country that is different  to the place where you were born.  I suppose it’s a feeling of having lost and gained something at the same time. The England I left in 1987 no longer exists except in my memory so in searching my past I also find my own place in Australia.
