” (This work is) inspired by the psychological process of Memory Palaces or Method of Loci, a method of recalling physical markers in a space to remember information and create meaning, not dissimilar to the indigenous practice of creating songlines to remember or tell the story of a journey. As a child I rode many trails on my horse and often created rituals around different markers in the landscape. I also saw faces in the trees, stones, hills and clouds, which I believe is a form of understanding or having empathy for the land or country. “
