SURVEY THIRTEEN
Balcony of Daydreams was a major studio work as part of my Degree based on an Adelaide mansion: Carrick Hill at Springfield. The interior space has rich layers of history as it houses an interior balcony and stairways that dates back to fourteenth century England. Again my work is a journey with interior space. The balcony and its shadow allow the viewer to move in a vertigous manner along its great expanse, visiting the various rooms which trails the length of the work.

Balcony of Daydreams. 6 panels complete, 2009

The six panels placed together and shown in the exhibition Survey Thirteen at Adelaide Central Gallery at Norwood 2009. The artistic intention was that the work would be viewed and "read" from left to right. One would follow the aged balcony that forms the trajectory flowing through the rooms - sometimes as a shadow.. as a collective memory.

My reading has been about the imagination when we were children. Exploring places and spaces, a world of wonder and experiences both sad and happy. The memories are many and Carrick Hill near Adelaide reminds me of those memories. This work is about the memories of times past that the old balcony (14th Century) has existed through prior to being salvaged and shipped to Australia.
