About this blog

In a globalised world, cities are rapidly becoming homogenised spaces. At first glance difference is disappearing, we see the same cars, same buildings, and same franchises.

This work will explore the idea that the marks on the pavement and the minutiae found in the streets can tell you where you are and provide clues for deciphering the narratives of the cultural terrain.

I Love St Kilda is my other blog that invites the viewer to speculate on stories that are suggested by the traces of life left on the streets. —
