Our notion of what is ‘real’ rests tenuously on a consensus of subjective experiences rapidly evolving as the complexity and uncertainty of contemporary life races towards an unknowable future.

I am an interdisciplinary artist interrogating how we understand the ‘real’ world by augmenting everyday human-centred experiences to reveal paradoxes of objectivity and meaning-making between reality/perception, science/fantasy and real/unreal in the overlap and enmeshment of physical and virtual spaces.

Using mixed reality (XR) technologies, immersive installations, painting, photography and sculpture, my practice invites viewers to ponder ontological questions by disrupting preconceived sensory expectations, layering multiple realities and glitching the familiar to draw attention to what is seen and unseen, heard and unheard, known and unknown all around us.

My artworks Taking a Walk (XR Concept) and Paranoia are Augmented Reality filters for your smartphone camera; a multiplicity of realities easily accessed through your mobile device to open you to broader considerations of light, sound, time, space, the universe – through random absurd abstractions of your human-sized view of the world as you walk out of your front door and around your familiar home neighbourhood.

I am currently living and working, with gratitude and respect, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
