Artmaking for me is an extension of my connection with the external and internal environment, and how they shape and inform each other.
The processes of reduction, abstraction and repetition build surfaces and structures that evoke the essence of place, of lived experience and of memory. Physical and metaphorical layers are assembled from cloth along with found objects, text and other media to expand the dynamic space between two and three dimensions.
Remnants from the artist’s own lived experience reside in the materials used for this body of work. Transition in life, the reality of time and technology, is mirrored in the re-framing of what remains, honouring histories while allowing their passing, navigating the present while making space for the future.
I acknowledge the Bunurong People as the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and work. I recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and their practices of art and story telling and pay respect to elders, past and present.
