My intention was to explore materiality and how my experiences of the Brisbane River changed over time.
I visited my site each weekend over a five week period, from the week of the 2011 January floods until now. Each visit resulted in different outcomes, depending on what information I had involved myself in that week, or issues I'd encountered at or around the site over the five week period.
SITE - DIARISING THE SITE
My intention with these photographs was to plot a site - the Brisbane River - and to photograph changes in the river's edges, textures, shadows and tides over time.
DIGITAL/PROJECTION and TEXTILES
I also took this opportunity to explore concepts of 'materiality/non-physical' materiality, experimenting with techniques and methods of getting across the concept of man vs. nature... mostly the nature of nature. Nature is continuous, no matter what man made 'intervention' is constructed in its path.
Over the five weeks, I experimented with projections, digital capturing of experiences and natural change, as well as sewing, gathering/assemblage, installations and poetry.
