Summary of Project:

“Memory suggests my suburb feels the same as it did twenty years ago, expect the cottages are vanishing. Many large blocks are subdivided and sold, the houses viciously torn down by new residents wanting to leave their own mark by erecting smooth and bored cladded shells. They’ll be filled with Ikea furniture. Maybe they’ll have Italian leather lounge suites. Some families like mine, families that could already be three generations deep into the family home, still remain in their beautiful like austerity houses and faux-Mediteranean homes. But so many more are disappearing. I’m not so melodramatic as to cry oh a la mort!! Let’s just say thing are changing and I miss what was. So when free time allows I take long walks through the suburb and shoot. Often times I don’t know why.”
