Fallout

The residency project in 2019 at the Megalo Print Studio explored the story of post WWII European migration of ‘Displaced People’ to Australia focussing on the life of M, a woman who worked for my parents and looked after me as a child, remaining my friend until her death in 2014. The work was informed by research into M’s life, applying the discourses of gender, work and motherhood within a social, cultural and political context. This includes reinserting M’s European heritage as indivisible from her identity and life as a ‘New Australian’.
