EXHIBITED, 2023 "THE ANNEX"
Responding to "No Shit" Essay by Fatima Measam
Exploring themes of family and home, it is hard not to reflect upon place. Werribee has been home to my ancestors for generations; they have set up home, raised their children and ventured on the winding paths that create the memories and traditions that bind us to each other.
So, what is Werribee? A place where the sewage goes, and the cabbages grow? Maybe, but I say embrace the “shit driven narrative” Measham describes and exploit the biodiverse landscape that has become home to one of the most multicultural and important suburbs of Melbourne.
In this idealistic setting, people and place live in harmony, personal effects acknowledge a collection of memories, and the birds, a sense of nomadic ambition - memoirs manifested in our historical and environmental journey.
