Q Bank Artist residency
Im delighted to be selected to have an artist residency in Queenstown, Tasmania, in March 2024. The experience was truely wonderful and the local artists are a great crew. I look forward to going back sometime soon! My work responded to the colours and textures of the mountains, the multi layered complexities of local life that has relied on local mining for a long time. The Mountains, the thick damp forests, the critters, the cold, its something I won’t forget.

VCA Grad Show 2023
Play-time 2023 Martyn Myer Arena, VCA, Southbank, Victoria - LINK
In my practice, I combine textiles, crafting techniques and materials, printmaking, performance, and sculpture to provoke the therapeutic and aesthetic value of play and playfulness to adults.
In a society where adult responsibilities often take precedence, play within the context of contemporary art not only fosters creativity but also nurtures our innate sense of wonder.
How do we bring back play just for the sake of it? Using costumes, movement, colour, and texture, I create vibrant spaces where adults are invited to return to a childlike play space. Dressed up and concealed in bright clothing that mimics creatures or characters from a natural or fantasy world, people sway and move and are free for a while. Being playful is a choice, a mindset and way to approach life.
Uncommon Threads Exhibition
Presented at the Fourtyfive Downstairs Gallery, I presented a work that climbed the pillar.
