I am an early career artist living and working in Naarm/Melbourne. I received a Master of Contemporary Art from the Victorian College of the Arts, The University of Melbourne in 2023. I have exhibited in Melbourne including at Manningham Art Gallery, Five Walls, Victorian Archives Gallery, Linden New Art Project Space and George Paton Gallery. My work is held in public and private collections.
My art practice is primarily interested in the flexible aesthetics of textiles. I lean on textile habits of salvaging, sewing, piecing, weaving and spinning to create new textile forms such as blankets and rug-style weavings. My past projects have centred around feminist thought and collective histories, dream states, and imagined connections between geometries and nearly lost plant knowledge.
