2010 ‘Mystères des Mémoires’ Installation in a cave responded to her latest investigation, Mid-Pyrenees, France (a winning laureate commission).
‘Recall’ Film. Architectural Projections. The film invokes, memories stored in fragments of aged objects collected and investigated by the artist. Kubisa uses a high-tech scientific process to extract the artwork, which then becomes an intrinsic part of the film reel and the trigger to the memory being re-leased through stills, film scenes, film archives and sound. Features in the film include: The Mary Rose, Lady Hamilton, WW11 Diary and D-Day each with a dedicated sound/music piece with Composers Steven Tait and Robert Fage.

| ‘Treasure Island: A Forensic Investigation of a City’ Arts Council & SEEDA Organisation & Development Award. Partners Portsmouth City Council, Patron David Pointer. A unique and ambitious citywide project. Public Arts Project producing one of the largest innovative archives in the U.K. With over a 190 artworks created through the use of traditional fine art approaches with new technologies. The investigations and cataloguing of objects have exposed memories and tales both physically in the fragment collected and from interviews with contributors and historians of the investigated object. At the interview the historian and contributor are recorded, the objects photographed and a fragment collected. The fragment touched and owned by generations past is scientifically analysed for fluorescence to reveal microscopic structures and it’s physical worn influences. Areas selected visually and symbolically to allow resonances of the past to seep into the analyzing and creative process. Samples are analysed using a laser scanning confocal microscope with a field of view of 1.5mm. It analyses slices of multiple views to reconstruct a 3D viewpoint. |

| 2001-2010 | Installations |
| ‘Mystères des Mémoires’ Installation in a cave in the Mid-Pyrenees, France, responds to the investigation of the village Carla-Bayle with the use of layered light pieces that reconstruct the anaylsed fragments and sounds recorded from the investigation sites with composer Robert Fage. The installation reconstructs the architecture in Carla-Bayle of exposed wood using salvaged timbers. ‘Sacred Eight’ at Portsmouth Cathedral installed human scale tombs linked up to the Cathedral's architecture. Perspex, gels, gold & silver leaf and innovative materials of household items, crystals, rice on steel light box systems. Installations have used florescent lighting, LED’s, UV, lenses, Perspex, pigments, glitter, rice and paint. The first installations- inventions of colour in the universe – ‘The colour laboratory’ installations were in London "Bromley library", Aspex gallery Portsmouth and Dashwood Gallery London |
