Mother Site 1: Woodford Academy

project description

“Mother Site” as a concept evolved whilst I was in residence using a broader range of forms as symbols to depict notions of mother at this site. However my initial goal of using multiple expose film as a form of layering was carried out. This extended period of time enabled me to further research this aspect of my art making process using a variety of traditional analogue film cameras. I was additionally gifted financial support during this time through a Blue Mountains City of the Arts Trust Grant.
