Dust and Decay is a collaboration with performance artist Ashley Dyer with myself, percussionist Claire Edwardes, projection artist Rachael Brown and writer Willoh Weiland. Largely inspired by the time based art of Andy Golsdworthy, Dust and Decay is a new interdisciplinary performance exploring life, death and the interconnectedness of our lives through story, song, dance and image. Dust and Decay is supported by the national mentoring initiative, SPARK Young Artists program

25th May 2008, 2.30 pm at Sydney Conservatoriom Music Café, Grevillea Ensemble 2008 series.

The premiere of my work Weereewa/Lake George for Voice, Flute and Piano. The text that I will use for this work is going to be sourced from the work of Lidija Šimkutė, a bi-lingual poet (Lithuanian and Englist) living in South Australia. Lidija has performed some of this work on Lake George as part of a dance installation project in the Weereewa/Lake George Festival in 2002. I have long been spiritually drawn to the landscape of Lake George, midway between Melbourne and Sydney. Lake George is characterised by historical, archaeological and environmental significance, many artists have been inspired by this unique landscape.
