pubs.rights-statement	There has been an impulse in recent examples of the moving image to explore narrative techniques that expand traditional methods employed by cinema. Both Isaac Julian in Ten Thousand Waves, 2010 and Tacita Dean in Disappearance at Sea, 1999 have achieved this by using a combination of video/ film and photography. In both instances a tragedy at sea was explored as a basis of the narrative. Promises were made was an installation held at Sarah Cottier Gallery, Sydney in 2013. It consisted of two works: Homage (Study), a single 4:3 video projection and Flare, a large scale hand-printed colour photograph. The work extended my research into the romanticism and the sublime. The narrative drew on a specifically Australian story: Andrew McCauley’s ill-fated attempt to cross the Tasman Sea from the coast of New South Wales to New Zealand by kayak. McCauley set off the 2nd February, 2007. Within ten days he was presumed dead as his kayak was found capsized. His body was never found. Promises were made was also included in the exhibition Inside Running at Fremantle Arts Centre, co-curated by Richard Lewer and Ric Spencer, 2013. It was purchased by Artbank. Most significantly the two works were selected for inclusion in a ten year survey exhibition of my work, Ten Years of Tears, at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), curated by Nicole Durling, 2013.	en_US

Abstract:

'Promises were made' was a installation held at Sarah Cottier Gallery in 2013 consisting of 'Homage (Study)' single 4:3 video projection and 'Flare' a large scale hand printed colour photograph. The work extended my research into the romanticism and the sublime drawing on the story of Andrew Mcauley's ill fated attempt to kayak from the coast of NSW to New Zealand. On February 2nd 2007, Andrew Mcauley attempted to cross the Tasman sea, he was presumed dead 9-12 February as his Kayak was found capsized and his body was never found. In 'Promises were made' I paid homage to this tragic event.
