Captivity, fragility and ritual. These are key things that I am reflecting on at this current time through my work.<br />

We overlook many aspects of day to day life, or merely have little awareness of activities occurring within it. If<br />

it were possible to isolate these p<strong>art</strong>icular activities would we see them as completely unfamiliar, or would our<br />

attention be captivated by them?<br />

Working with lens based media and sound installation my practice investigates the unseen and yet intimate<br />

bonds that exist between birds and their breeders. It serves as a topology of family, generation, breeders, birds<br />

and the exhibiting of Australian Parakeets. I am interested in the decline of specialist bird breeding, in<br />

negotiating it as an unnoticed pastime, and in unpicking the repetitive and ritualistic process of care it entails.<br />
