'Border Crossings began as an idea for a photographic installation which premiered in 2002 at the Wollongong City Gallery...' It merges 'print and filmic texts' and attempts to 'challenge a range of standard presentations of photographs'. The exhibition was intended as a 'meditation on the idea of borders as frames, and of renovation as a language for change, migration, and attempted escapes. It was also an ode to both Canada and Australia...'

This book 'explores the theme of reconstruction and deconstruction through photographs and texts that centre on buildings and places in growth and decay ... Border Crossings is an essay, in form and content, about cross-culturality, hybridity and insubstantiality.'
