A part of focusing on 'The Family Portrait' is focusing on both sides of my family, so while exploring my Gubbi Gubbi ancestry, I'm still expanding upon my Hammer/Geldard family history and our memories of Killarney. I wanted to make a large installation, this semester, creating a room that's an amalgamation of two bedrooms from the house in Killarney. The two rooms I'm talking about were referred as 'The Green Room' and 'The Gold Room', named after the colour of the wallpaper. I wanted the amalgamation of the two rooms because when I was remembering about the gold room, I forgot the the room had two forms, the first form was as a bedroom, the second form was as an office for my grandparents and I just remembered the gold room as a combination of both. While for the green room, I wanted to include it because it was the room I mainly slept in and it had a large window that looked out to the property. I have the name 'The Sepia Room' as the amalgamation gives birth to a new room and I wanted to give a sense of nostalgia
