...a photographic exhibition

Travellin’... that is what this exhibition is about. In the casual sense of the word, it is something many young Australians seem to do. I certainly had always wanted to travel, inspired by my parents’ adventurous journeys from Holland and Yugoslvia to Darwin, Australia.

I had wanted to go to Bosnia, my father’s home country. For some reason my family were not encouraging with that plan. So instead I cruised around many and varied countries with no particular aim. I did know that I wanted to see other places and visually document these experiences. These photographs are snippets of my journal, depicting that sense of wandering.
I see them now and remember the thoughts, the joy and the struggles that I was having at the time. These images. Some being necessarily voyeuristic, others engaged amongst emotion. Paralleling how being a traveller, for three years, can feel.
