About
I am a sculptor, a conceptual and mixed media artist who grew up in the unique landscape of the Victorian Mallee - a land of heat, large skies, squawking birds and seemingly endless plains. I studied European cultural History in both Australia and UK, and completed my Master of Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts in 2017. I will complete my Master of Arts Management in Melbourne in early 2024.
My practice seeks to explore how we as humans live and function together - including issues that can often test social coherence such as migration, offensive language, gender violence, and even child sexual abuse. I am interested also in the politics and poetics of spaces; especially in urban places with the rise in both populist politics and individual social isolation experienced in many societies.
My recent practice looks at the relationship between experience of the environment and the formation and maintenance of core elements of identity. I am interested in how that identity may be reshaped particularly by those Anthropocene issues of migration and displacement, excessive demand, climate change, and the toxic effects of micro- and nanoplastics and sorbed chemicals on the environment (with their potential to disrupt normal human health, human growth and reproduction).
