Work Overview

Ngarrama tide is an audiovisual representation of the impact climate change is having on the ocean and beaches of Australia's east coast, saltwater country. The work is a combination of field recordings, acoustic and digital instruments manipulated to capture and represent the rising tide.

'Ngarrama' means 'to sit and listen', and for me, being on Awabakal country and being near salt water is as close as I can get to spiritual. To sit, learn, listen and know the ocean, the tide and the beaches I live on is a privilege.

Big love to the Awabakal, custodians of the land this work was created.
