Bundjalung Country.
My sense of place is forever growing and expanding. Home is a thread that stretches and curls its way to new places, but it never unravels from those places in the past. Now and then I feel the pull of this thread, and places or moments in time that I deemed lost, somehow find their way back to me. This thread, my home, is inextricably linked to people and moments that have gone and passed. All these sentiments of home stem from Bungjalung country- my country, the Midginbil people.

Small Town Fairy Tales
Small towns are toxic wastelands filled with ill intentions and traps around every corner. You can hear the creatures crawling and howling with every step you take, their claws ready to dig in whenever you are at your most vulnerable. People get trapped in the channels of booze and illegitimacies. It is a dog-eat-dog cycle, destined to repeat itself. Born into a set fate, a set class; few change their position. A small-town fairy tale is where someone gets to leave intact, fruitful, and with no intention to return to those who have plagued them. However, many are denied a physical escape; instead, they seek a means to an end through their choice of poison.
