My Mum and I are working on a series of three textile pieces exploring the concept of ‘enough’. Mum isn’t particularly interested in the political nature of the work and she just wants to support me. ‘I don’t really understand any of that but I’m happy to knit the squares’ is her statement. And mine is – the work! And it so happens to fit beautifully with the collaboration of _this breath. Mum – Clare Bradley Kelly - is 93 and in a high care unit in a nursing home in country Victoria and I am on an extended visit (due to covid 19 restrictions) to Victoria from the NT.
I primarily live in Virginia just out of Darwin, and am currently undertaking a Masters Degree by Research at the Charles Darwin University exploring art works connected to place.
