This video presents my creative rendering of 'thin places' between time, space and histories of people. This video sings to those who I and others have lost.

To make this video I called on the memories of Sr Mary Ursula Grachan an extremely elderly Presentation Sister who I used to watch with fascination from my secret hiding spot near the convent grounds. She was an uncanny presence in my mind and her presence has never left my imagination. Performing for camera in my home in Narrm/Melbourne I took the garden footage in-between lockdowns in April 2021 in lutruwita/Tasmania. I revisited my old school in Launceston and the Presentation Sisters' convent (a hotel today) and its now unloved rose garden which Sr Ursula tended with such care so many years ago.

The layered sounds have within them the Gaelic song - Mairi's Wedding.
