Emma recently worked on a timeline for a public precinct in
Townsville and that got her thinking about alternative timelines, ways of
recording/recollecting that encompass narrative and interconnections and
slippages across time and place. Memory can be elusive and for Emma context is
critical – faces fade but the story sticks. For the wallwork All my people Emma will create a
non-linear autobiographical ‘timeline’ – a recollection of her people, the
people she’s met, the people who matter.

On
opening night Emma asked visitors if they'd like to sift through a pile
of her old address books and choose a name. If the person they picked
was one of her people she wrote them a story about the person on their
room sheet. Emma will be working in the space over the next two weeks
and if she's there when you're there, pick a name and she'll write a
story for you, too.
