grounding on the highrise - durational film works

Grounding on the high rise - Durational film works.

Collingwood High Rise Estate is an easily immersive environment; whether you rise or fall.

For 3-months I was slowly swept up in its richness, insights and authenticity.  Preconceived ideas could have blocked the sight of the estates gifts; togetherness in what's perceived as falling apart; warmth in what's assumed cold and feared.

Most morning and afternoon, I would  capture the same moving image of the estate from Platform 1 of Victoria Park train station.  An opportunity to find a common ground with a place that I'm not from.  The light shifted, painting people's homes in infinite portrait, with rising sunlit hue.  Everyone likes a sunrise.

Below are images taken from one of many durational filmworks.

Standing, smoking cigarettes; appreciating  the block.  I think on some level we get each other.

 

More new Jewellery from the workshop!

 

Jewellery Making is Fun and Normal

Here you have it! The happy people that come to the underground carpark and leave with some new jewellery and even happier than before. In one last blast the workshops will run this week on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 - 3. Everyone is welcome, bring a jumper or two, the fun is all free.

First investigation into acoustic reverie; an appreciation of place and potential.

Part of a 3-month residency in the underground car park at Collingwood High Rise Estate.
The piano was found in the space. Of course, being familiar with a piano, I chose to begin my explorations there. Other tools will be used to explore the potential of the area as the residency continues.
