Born in 1989, I live and work in Melbourne. I’m a fairly enthusiastic person who loves saying yes and giving things a go.
As an artist my work is about trying to understand current day Australia through examining the past. I think by looking at where we come from, the absurdities, uncomfortable truths and unfortunate realities become more obvious.
At the end of the day, I’m just trying to get other people to pay a bit more attention and reflect on the current state of our world.
As an book maker and publisher I am driven by texture, scale and access. Books provide excellent vehicles for art work, as they travel easily, can always be discovered and are tactile.
I’m also an educator, running arts workshops for kids, teens, adults and organisations. As an educator I prioritise structure, clear resources and providing excellent value.
I lack a gall bladder, make a great lasagne, don’t take myself too seriously and am usually up for a chat.
