What is identity when it is subsumed in a river? Asked to relate to the dissolution of identity, this series of mixed media collages and dark inkjet prints is a meditation on regular walks along the Swan River and its restless transmogrifying tides. Look for fish, seagulls, reflections, ripples, darkness, teeth and peristaltic waves.
