Peripheral (Solo) — Mixed media installation — Kite Gallery, Cairns 2022
adjective pe·riph·er·al
Definition
1. of, relating to, involving, or forming a periphery or surface part
2. of, relating to, affecting, or being part of the body
a. the peripheral nervous system
b. the peripheral systemic circulation
3. of, relating to, or being the outer part of the field of vision
4. auxiliary, supplementary
Peripheral traces the edges of remembrance: note fragments and soft materials arranged around an empty centre. The installation uses small, repeated actions—pinning, binding and indexing—to catalogue absence through what remains. Visitors encounter a reading bench and a modest handling station, where they can add a micro‑note to the peripheral archive. This work consolidates my interest in minor gestures as feminist care, and in the ordinary as a living memory technology.
