Artist Statement
Embodied Materialities: using the relation between my body and the clay body to explore how materials are embedded with settler histories. Finding wild ochre clay in bushland near my home and a place I grew up, prompted me to speak with Laurie, a Garigal man, where I learned this clay is significant to the Garigal people and was excavated to form bricks that built my home 1968. The brickworks and home are where I respond to industrial material histories through my body with clay, as each pressing holds my finger pressure marks that are rooted in material memory and documentation.
