The Continuity exhibition resulted from a continued engagement over nine years with a particular location on the Murchison River, in mid-west Western Australia. 

Each year artworks were made in situ and further developed in the studio.  The exhibition included large scale frottages, drawings, paintings, textile works and photography.   
​
Continuity was presented at the Vancouver Arts Centre, Albany, Western Australia, 20 October - 8 November, 2017 and at NEXIS Exhibition Space, Narrogin, from 9 February to 3 March, 2019.

​I think of the trees as witnesses to history, to the force of nature through floods and droughts and to the layers of human presence in the rugged landscape of the Murchison.   I'm conscious that my footprints in the sandy creek bed are just the most recent layer of experience, and that only the trees and rocks know who has walked this way before me.
