The location gave me the space to spread out creatively, both mentally and physically, with working areas for specific projects spread throughout the house. I was able to freely move from one project to another as my mood directed. It was a rare moment of time to fully focus on my practice and the process of creativity. I found the time to submit an exhibition proposal to a gallery in Victoria, finished the next step of my ‘choice mate’ project, commenced a new body of work, caught up on reading and took the first steps to curating a group exhibition.

When I recall my time at North Arm Cove I think of the ‘ghost roads’….the memory of driving slowly along a road that existed on maps, but that led directly into mangrove swamps, the formal grid like imprints on the bush landscape with their suburban streets, circuits and parades, echoing the past ideas of Walter Burley Griffin and his plan for North Arm Cove as the possibility for the Nation’s Capital.
