Lady Bay Urban Island



In and around Lady Bay... preparing urban island project for Lady Bay Arts Festival... A visual artist and writer with skills and experience in management and working in partnership with people. Highly organised with excellent communication abilities with a strong motivation to engage audiences in practices that question the significance of the therapeutic and cultural importance of art and literature in relation to meaning/memory of places.


In order to make a response to the uncertainty of our urban surroundings, I interrogate metaphorical possibilities by creating imaginary islands in real urban places. I involve audience through discussions and tours guided by maps in a repetitive action of returning and reinterpreting, asking them to consider the possibilities for recurring and overlapping realities to be found in particular places with island characteristics and geographies.
