Guessing at the Deadman too Late

Guessing at the Deadman too Late explores notions of technology, family and broken narratives through a multifaceted account of a deceased relative.

This project was first exhibited in the solo exhibition Guessing at the Dead Man too Late, held February 2017 at Kaskl, Lichtenberg, Germany. It was funded by the Australian Postgraduate Award and the Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Artists Exchange Scholarship.
