I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin nation as sovereign custodians of the land on which I work and operate, and I would like to extend my respects to ancestors and Elders past, present and to all indigenous people.

based and born in naarm.

i experiment with a trauma-informed approach to practice of art, motivated by conscientious compassion and a desire to make working with pain, less painful. from my background in printmaking and photography emboldened by spatial practice and lighting, i conjure emotional landscapes from occasionally personal archives, attempting to embody the corporeal and cerebral traces of trauma that exist as afterimages.

my practice and research asks you to consider the innate vulnerability we share as humans in relation to our behaviour and actions. as artists and people, what are we comfortable or willing to inflict upon others, and what are we trying to achieve for ourselves and our audiences?
