About the artwork:
As part of this work, I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land that this work is based, that sovereignty was never ceded, and pay my respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, past, present, and emerging.
‘Terra Nuova’ means new land in Italian. The language of the land and stories that make up part of my heritage.
There are two main aspects to these works: the framework which references the flux in landscape through ethnographic distribution of peoples around the globe. This has been for many reasons: war, famine, poverty, or those looking for a new and better life. This is the story of my people, the story of my family, thousands of kilometres removed from the land of their ancestors, attempting to carve a new life in a new unknown country.
The second aspect of this works is their material creation. These works are made from discarded scraps of photographic paper that were used for other projects, repurposed, and remade into these new artworks, giving new life and function to these off-cut photographs and reimagining them into a new landscape.
These photographic collages go beyond the 2D space, asking viewers to move and interact with the work. These expanded field photographs are purposefully abstract and sculptural; they are physical and spontaneous.
