Linger explores metaphors of searching for a sense of belonging and the fragility of childhood memories. Aerial roots (collected from a fig tree growing outside the gallery) hang overhead entangled with soil, debris and twine. Suspended in the middle is a simple homemade swing - a transparent plank, like a window or portal into one's memory. The Incinerator was initially used to combust suburban waste, now a contemporary art space the building still sits partly underground and partly hanging off the side of a steep hill; situated within this structure Linger amplifies the site's atmosphere of transience, dislocation and impermanence.

"... memory is a limitless subject in art and culture itself, being intrinsic to its very materialisation." (Ian Farr)
