Research statement

The Cliffs of Moher are located on Ireland’s west coast in Co. Clare and extend for around 14 kilometers on the edge of the Burren region. As a first-generation Australian and someone who spent part of their childhood living in Ireland, I have never really felt at home in Australia. In this artwork I respond to the unfortunate low quality images that I was able to capture upon my last visit to the Cliffs with my partner in 2019. The images did not capture the magnitude of that environment and location. In the improvised sonic response I wanted to try and emulate the intensity of the location and the event of being there with the one that I love. This reminded me of photographs of my parents in the same location as young lovers in 1971. These family archive photographs are also included in the work.
