Sensing Home # 1 & # 2 2008, are my first series of works, which respond to this conceptual investigation of memory and place. A direct response to a specific locale - the sheep and wool pavilion at the Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F, a government animal research facility) Yeerongpilly, these works draw references to bailing techniques and mesh flooring, exemplifying a sense of containment and restriction, which epitomises the parrallels between the beauty of nature and its fragility. Through the affiliations of farming, memories pertaining to my father are re-established, strengthening my sense of place, and my sense of 'home'.
