Stories in the making

Siren call of the Baltic Sea (2018)

12/9/2022

 
This tunnel book is an ode to my ancestral roots in the Baltics and the hold the region still has on my cultural and emotional identity. The work taps into an underlying longing to ‘return’ to the motherland, despite being born and growing up in Australia, by harnessing the mythology surrounding sirens and the lure of ocean voyages. The vintage collage material was sourced during an artist residency at the Estonian Printing and Paper Museum, Tartu, in 2017, and has been supplemented with used business envelopes from my letter box, bridging Australian and Baltic motifs and references. The images above show individual layers from the book.
