A site-specific installation, as part of the exhibition Women Creators of the Two Seas, organized by Unesco in the context of the Thessaloniki Cultural Capital of Europe 1997. Entering the vast derelict warehouse adjacent to the sea on the port of Thessaloniki there were two dominant elements in my mind’s eye. One was the water so […]

I sought to utilise the same textures, principles and materials that I have always used in my work and to combine them with local, Austin-based, expertise in the […]
Like temples, banks appear to us as our cities’ most impressive and lavish edifices. Like temples, banks derive their authority from an immaterial faith in some indeterminate, mysterious, all-powerful force: divinity in the case of temples, liquid value in the case of banks.
