Digital media is a more recent area of focus over the last two years. The most recent production is the piece, Signature of water, produced with visual artist Deborah Faeyrglenn. This is a set of interlinked, interactive websites and short movies which explores multiple aspects of water and its meaning in our lives and the lives of our communities.
It ranges from short, minimalist animations, using cartoons, to hyperfiction drawing on the styles of crime novels. It is a mix of poetry, storytelling, images and sounds which is heavily influenced by the styles of popular culture and the urban and rural landscapes around us.
Before this, the piece, Remembering Dresden, about wars, families, memory and the many meanings of everyday words was shortlisted for the 2004 Newcastle Poetry Prize New Media Award. Remembering Dresden drew on the intersection of family and world history and the way in which the past changes even more than the future.
Interest in digital media was initiated by State of origin, a piece produced with visual artist, Deborah Faeyrglenn, for the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery exhibition, Conversations.
It developed further with the short piece, ideal companion, a love song about travelling long distances together.
Digital media continues to be an area of major interest.
