I have been artist in residence with the Royal Western Australian Historical Society since 2009. The residency blog is at http://wahistoryresidency.blogspot.com

My exhibition Mapping Memory can be viewed at the State Library of Western Australia from April 9 to July 10, 2011. I’ve dug deep into the fertile soil of the collections of both the Society and the State Library of Western Australia, seeking stories which resonate with family tales dating back to my grandparents' arrival in Western Australia a century ago. In Mapping Memory artefacts, maps, photographs and documents from these two important heritage collections intermingle with my personal memorabilia and artworks, to map family story, collective memory, and the Western Australian landscape they share.
