For 10 + years Jacqueline lived and worked across the vast first floor of the iconic Patersons Building (1912) in Smith Street Fitzroy. In early 2012 the street below became the studio, by establishing a simple studio set up in the street to capture passers-by using natural light, taking photographs of those passing who were willing to participate.

“The resulting portraits have the dimension of having been taken between 10am and 1pm, on the 25th January 2012 – when these people were in Smith Street and whilst Smith Street’s face was still, for a limited period of time, an eclectic and universal one - the wave of perhaps inevitable gentrification has yet to sweep over this beautiful, varied street of many languages and ways of being.”

Ten of those portraits were featured in the Gertrude Street Projection Festival, and lined hoardings in Smith St - as part of a public art commission in collaboration with art consultant Andy Dinan and [MARS].
