WALKING THROUGH A MEMORY 

Walking through a memory is a mixed media collection of work exploring the direct

experience and its influence over our consciousness and experience of a place. It transforms

the psychology of phenomenology to present an experience of being in the Australian

landscape. A place that is old and full of memory.

The exhibition deconstructs the formal representations of a landscape by focusing on the

details, movements, and feelings becoming a play between perspective, light, textures and

forms. Becoming a representation of my relationship with the Blue Mountains; emotionally,

physically and spiritually.

It is communicated through charcoal fragment and acrylic paintings and a patterned light

that filters across the floor. It demonstrates the influence that natural forms have over our

bodies, allowing an awareness of the sensations that arise in a given place. These visual

signs evoke deep memories and connections with the physical environment that humans

inhabit. These strengthen our understanding of the inherent value these places have to

enliven our own sense of liveliness, as well as our mental and physical well-being.
