  • ANGELA: “My father physically abused me from the age of nine, until thirteen when I was sent away. My brother was my champion in the family and the one that saw the goodness in me. One of the most important things that I took from him was something that he told me from the ancient Egyptians: They all wanted to die with their heart as light as a feather.  I’ve been on a mission to try and do that, so I can die with my heart as light as a feather, without hate in my heart.”

  • LAINIE: “I was the eldest of four children and I grew up with a violent mother and father. I used to go into a space and close my eyes and see like colours and changes inside there. And just sit there with my eyes shut and ignore what was going on around me. So that was a nice coping strategy.”

  • MAYA: “His money pretty much went to gambling. The majority of the time, my pay went to the mortgage, and paid all the bills, and all the food. There were times where my pay would pay the mortgage, and there’d be $100 left. He’d go, ‘there’s $80 for me and $20 for you.’ So, me and the kids lived on minced meat and sausages. He would always say ‘look, I've only hit you a handful of times. It's not abuse. What are you talking about?’”

  • RUBY: “He lost it because he wasn't in control of what I was doing. He threw a punnet of blueberries at the wall, so I walked out. When I came home and saw the blueberries on the wall that he still hadn't cleaned up. I was thinking “I'm not picking up those blueberries. I’m eight and a half months pregnant with twins. I'm not cleaning the wall.”

  • “He controlled all the money. I just went to work. I was earning money but had no access to it. Not that I needed too much, but he wouldn’t allow me to go shopping for myself, because I’d have to justify everything. If I wanted to buy the kids something, he would go with me. The only time he would ever allow me to buy something was usually when I was going somewhere with him, because he would want me to look like a trophy wife.”

  • This image aims to explore the multi-layered complexities of Family and Domestic Violence The approach and style of the images are as diverse as domestic violence itself. Much like the complexities of understanding time, a linear approach is futile. From the micro-seconds between the acts of violence, to dipping toes into other planes of time and existence where disassociation marries survival. Time, memory, longevity and the pace of violence are inherently expressed in this collection.v
