ABOUT
This City circles the globe from Florence to Palmerston North but the resulting volume is far more than so-called armchair travel.
Topography and public space are a preoccupation (buses and trains, roads and houses, even Google Earth's Street View all get a mention), but it is her evocation of the transient grounded in these spaces - snippets overheard on an Italian strada, scenes on a bus on Moxham Ave, imaginings of lives from long ago (Jane Austen, Emily Dickenson) - that leaves a taut and exciting impression of lives lived here, in this place, in This City.
