ENCOUNTERS Is a collection of experienced moments that explores what emerges from being engaged with personal memories; the encounter is a recollection of an experience of driving on a remote deserted road and encountering a strange light the local Aboriginals call Min Min (believed to be the spirit of elders that perished at the hands of the first settlers). This is seamlessly followed by an encounter with a Shaman and a near death experience of falling off a waterfall. All descriptions are based on memories of encounters when the body is shocked into fear of the unknown and into the sense of freedom in understanding that there are some things beyond our own understanding that in turn make the understanding of our worlds greater.
