Artists included Tony Bond, Jacky Redgate, Brad Buckley, Adam Geczy, GeoffKlem, Elizabeth Day, Alan Cholodenko, Derek Kreckler, Peter Burgess, Dennis del Favero, John Conomos, Eugenia Raskopoulos and others.The method developed for my work, Lament for the Land 2002, was initially shown in an exhibition titled 'The Static of Words Paintings and Works on Paper' 1993-1999 at the UTS Gallery in conjunction with Winds of Change: Women and the Culture of Universities.
