Snowman Killer: art, spatial relations & the Mobilities turn

This practice-led doctoral project is based on artworks, fieldwork, and the investigation of family archives to research how mobility systems coproduce social space, place and landscape across generations in Australia.  Through three carefully framed projects in different geographical milieux, I enact creative dialogues on the social impact of mobility through site-responsive artworks exhibited in public space.  These artworks are embedded in the emerging interdisciplinary field known as the 'mobilities turn' and the acknowledgement that in an increasingly mobile world our concept of place is distributed across time and space. Mobilities mould structures of power, identity and the microgeographies of everyday life and my project aims to investigate the social meaning of such shaping through practice-led research.
