Call and Response - Movement I: Prelude

Call and Response is a series of collage works developed two decades on from my narrow escape from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, as part of a 43-member Australian and New Zealand community choir.

Anchored by music, the exhibition unfolds in five movements: Prelude, Exodus, Lament, Testimony and Coda. Each collage is accompanied by a haibun that carries the visual narrative into language.
