Haus of Memories was a month long residency led by Studio Kiin where we explore indeginous knowledge and memory, and how we archive our future past.

Surreal, warm and entwined with the past, Elsie’s digital illustrations draw on memories of her childhood homes. Inspired by the concept of ‘Memory Palaces’ and her parent’s collection of antiques, books and music, handcrafted mats and masi kesa, Elsie weaves her childhood memories together to create surreal yet familiar images of home. 

VOSA is a podcast focusing on amplifying Pacific & PNG voices. Commissioned by Goodwill Media, I created an illustrative, tropical identity to span across their social media platforms.
