Markers
‘Markers’ explores my ancestral connections to ideologies surrounding family, freemasonry, navigation, grief and the afterlife. These sculptures directly reference sandstones shards that transport me to a time when I was a child and my father worked in a sandstone quarry north of Sydney. He would often bring home scrap sandstone and I would help move the pieces around the family yard whilst he worked on a landscaping project. By binding invisible lines to these ideas and memories my sculptures honour my instinctual connection to rock as a marker.
