Gabrielle Mordy
Foldable Paper Icons
I grew up in Australia but was born in the UK. I have a deep love for the Australian land but I have always lived with a confused sense that it is not really my country.
These collaged paper landscapes explore the relationship between land, home and identity. In the absence of a firm personal sense of history and place can you piece together and tell the story of your own landscape?
