These needlepoints get their imagery from magnified sediments that remained on the soles of my feet after a swim the Birrarung, a local river. They consider the agency of the sediment and the way place and history can stick to us.

There are eight needlepoints in total, each different in size but sitting in the range of 21cm to 32cm. They were exhibited at the 2021 TarraWarra Biennial "Slow Moving Waters" curated by Nina Miall.
