Her passion for painting and for natural beauty and light allows the viewers of her work to feel part of the world she has captured. A world so life-like you can 'smell' the perfume of the roses, see the light as it glistens through a dew-drop or feel the nostalgic atmosphere she has created in her still-life studies of much-loved, time-worn objet d'art. nteriors.

Jetsam explores urban public trash, its meaning, patterns, and usage, as it manifests itself in cities. Through this probe we hope to uncover new opportunities for technology to emerge across urban landscapes and further connect with our emotional experiences of living in cities.

One of the things I like about Jetsam is its economy: one single artifact becomes a lens through which to see a network of civic infrastructures, communities, and rhythms.


Flotsam and jetsamQuoted from thebackpacker.com:

"Someone wrote into Trail Talk and said that if you ask twenty backpackers a question on camping that you would get twenty-one different answers. That is how it should be. Everyone has a different backpacking routine and everyone backpacks for different reasons. But does it really matter?"

I love the rocks, sand and seaweed of the beach, but also find the brightly coloured things that wash up rather interesting - especially the contrast in colour, surface and form between the man-made and the natural.

Flotsam and Jetsam: Definition thereof

Even though they became popular as metaphors among landlubbers, "flotsam" and "jetsam" were both originally nautical terms. "Flotsam" (from the Anglo-French "floteson," in turn from the Old French "floter," to float) is, strictly speaking, the wreckage of a ship (or its cargo) found floating on the surface of the sea. More generally, "flotsam" can be used for any sort of floating debris. "Flotsam" is presumed to be of accidental origin.

"Jetsam," however, is deliberate (if often not entirely voluntary) in origin. "Jetsam" is actually a form of the word "jettison," and originally referred to cargo or other goods thrown overboard to lighten a vessel in distress. (Of course, if that didn't work, the whole shebang often became "flotsam.") The current "sam" ending of "jetsam" was almost certainly modeled on "flotsam." "Flotsam" dates to the 17th century, "jetsam" to the 16th (in the intermediate form “jetson”), and the distinction between the two has historically been important in maritime salvage law.
