Fanny Bay Gaol – November 2012 Darwin Pride Exhibition

Each artist was given a prison cell or a part of the prison to respond to. My work featured a video projection where the window of the cell was. The projection was of clouds. The soundscape reflected the challenges and horrors of prison life.

omphalos

omphalos

Omphalos is the Greek word for navel, and it is often used to refer to the oracle at Delphi – which was considered to be the navel of the world in ancient times.

A sound installation comprising of seven large ceramic urns and a smaller central urn. The urns sing, emitting dreamlike resonances from within. The installation functions as an oracle and the audience may query it by speaking directly and intimately into the central urn (the Pythia). A gentle, ethereal voice replies with an answer to the query whilst the outer urns sing and dramatically accompany the oracular process. Kudos Gallery, Sydney Greek Festival. 2005.
