Remembering those at Christmas
Project type
Multimedia Found and Precious items with Paint on Canvas
Date
2011
Location
Highfields, South East Queensland, Australia.
Created using hundreds of collected buttons, ANZAC and remembrance badges, paint, and found materials on canvas, this multimedia work reflects on sacrifice, memory, and the quiet absence felt during the Christmas season by families separated through military service. The stag, often associated with strength, endurance, and protection, becomes a symbolic guardian carrying fragments of many lives and stories within its form. Through layered textures and carefully placed objects, the work honours those serving away from home while gently reminding viewers of the importance of remembrance, connection, and gratitude during times of celebration.
