I am a multi-disciplinary artist and architect. My work revolves around themes of belonging, connection to culture and place through the processes of making and storytelling. With an intersectional background, I see systems of exclusion, displacement, and disconnection as universal human experiences that continue to impact us all. My work seeks to reveal the dominant yet evasive oppressive structures at work, to research alternative histories, and to speculate on alternative futures.
I am interested in knowledge production. I make art to learn and to make sense of things. I work to decolonise [myself] through expansive whole-of-body art making. I play with social and spatial relationships and explore our need to manifest material culture. I create tangible and ephemeral work that evokes a sense of place, where everyday ceremony and ritual can play out.
I currently live and work in Naarm (Melbourne) and respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I work, the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to elders; past, and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was always will be.
