My practice explores concepts related to value - both societal and personal.
My mediums span a range of modest, often pre-loved materials - with the majority of works created from the inside cardboard of domestic food boxes.
Often text-based, my works are small and softly spoken as a critical act. I explore ideas of connection, both with others and with self, using collage, drawing, sculpture, stitching and installation. I draw inspiration from handmade and naïve art, retail and workplace signage and stationery, and daily life.
Awarded the National Gallery of Victoria Prize and the Award for Contemporary Drawing by Monash University, I’ve been a finalist in Still: National Still Life Award and the Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award, a postcard winner in the Linden Postcard Show, and artist-in-residence at Heritage Hill. I’ve exhibited in group shows at Sarah Scout Presents, George Paton Gallery, Blindside, Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, Glen Eira City Council Gallery, and the Paris College of Art. I’ve had solo shows at Walker Street Gallery, MADA Gallery, O-Projects and Kings Artist-Run. I hold a practice-based PhD in Fine Art.
