My works explore themes of home, heritage and the natural world through sculptural interdisciplinary pieces or representational image prints that have an utmost regard for environmental impacts. They include innovative interactive prints, textile experimentation and explorations of material agency. I use material agency in a way that creates transient art forms and ephemeral elemental arrangements left to chance. These works engage with my research in post-colonialism, identity and ongoing environmental crises through an Australian lens, with careful consideration of Indigenous ally-ship and Sovereignty. My work with organic material creates a vision of a hopeful future through acts of decolonisation, while my work with synthetic material tends to deal more with grief and anger towards environmental issues. My works intersect in practice. I have a career background in illustration and formal training in printmaking through previous bachelor degrees, but my practice often strays into textile, sculpture and the living world. This adaptability is one of my biggest strengths as an artist, creating unique forms which often end up as durational works due to their 'living' nature. As an illustrator, I have a substantial background in textile design. My illustrative works gravitate towards themes of urban fantasy and magic in the everyday, and I use these to pull myself out of the misery of political work.
