“By the time I re-located to Canberra in the mid 1990’s I had already been making photographic works embellished with a kind of fugitive text that addressed pathology and mortality in more unequivocal ways. The photo images were never meant to be anchored in one single solid truth or reading and similarly the text was warped and distorted almost beyond recognition, precariously attached to the images again, to prompt a more poetic reading.”
