ABOUT
I am a mixed media artist living and working on Bundjalung country, Australia. I first honour drawing in my work while striving to remain contemporary in execution.
​
Approaches often involve deconstructing and assembling work using collage methods. The multilayering of collage,paintings and drawings often leads to objective chance and accident which takes me in a new and often challenging direction.
​
I like to connect more than one form of knowledge or experience within the work.
​
My work is uniquely historical in narrative and often features deceased family members. I look for ways to convey a narrative around absence, presence, transience and the human condition.
The tools of my hands create visual languages which speak to stories of the past.
