1.      Found Photo Negative, date unknown (found Oct 2023) - 10 x 6.5cm
         Conceptualisation of Gravity Portal began with the discovery of 3 photo negatives - 1930’s era - revealing two sisters who were the previous life-long
         residents of the house wherein I live. This house is on Muwinina land. I have lived here for many years. I found the negatives on the floor in my studio
         room. Maybe they escaped from behind the fireplace mantlepiece? They called to be listened to and followed as an offering of unknown generative
         potential.
