Secret Family Recipes (90 second promo) (2012) I grew up in Ireland but left there 27 years ago and finally settled in
Sydney. I made this film because I wanted to explore what connects me to
family, community and place in Ireland. What aspects of my Irishness would I
pass on to my daughters in Australia? What parts would they want? In Secret
Family Recipes the ritual baking of a family cake unlocks hidden stories of
family, community and place. (Full 50 minute video now available)

boat-people.org invited friends and strangers across the nation to appear in public spaces in a
collective display of dismay. The work was developed during the 2010
Cockatoo Island Artist Residency Program. Video produced by

Paint your own Bike LaneFilm maker unknown (1995)
Very early Sydney bicycle activism circa 1995? The cop was hilarious - can't

action was very prophetic. This program was included on the news magazine,
News Unlimited which published three issues from 1996 to 1998.
