Roma I

"This body of work was inspired by one of the world's most ancient cities: Rome. But there is a nagging sense that beyond the obvious hints of the iconic buildings of Rome there is also a hint of the ghosts of other cities visited or lived in, a touch of New York city modernism here, the postmodernism of Tokyo there, and more localised references - the shadow of the Victorian Arts Centre hovering not so far from the Pantheon. The results is an odd, ficitional map of the memory." (A Crawford, 'The City in fluid detail', The Age, 10 April 2004)
