Lutry Plage, 50 × 70, gumprint, digital matrix, chalk pastel, 2024.
I made this kinetic sculptural piece in light of returning to OzArts 10 years on. It’s named after part of the city motto of Detroit, Spearamus Meliora, we hope for better things. Reckoning with autonomy in my home country, moving backwards, repeating cycles round in circles and trapped. I’m thinking of Michigan friends and better days ahead of us with a steady balance to keep flying.
