I'm currently working on a site-responsive installation about memory and connection to place at the Willoughby Incinerator Art Space. Initially I planned to use sheets of perspex suspended horizontally so they would seemingly hover overhead, with soil sitting on top that you viewed by looking up from underneath. But after playing with with different ways of tying and suspending the perspex, I hung one like a swing. This fragile backyard swing instantly conjured nostalgic childhood memories. With this new focal point, of the swing surrounded by aerial roots inside a building that is partly underground and partly hanging off the side of a steep hill, my installation, Linger, is gradually forming a narrative of transient childhood memories and searching for connections to place.
