“Ghost of the Tide”
In the shadows of shells, I seek the unseen—what the surface hides and what is left behind. Simply a ghost of armour where sea life once called home
This work reflects the quiet remnants of ocean life, where a once-thriving home becomes a ghost of its former self. Through delicate forms and empty spaces, I explore themes of memory, fragility, and the passage of time, inviting viewers to consider the unseen stories within nature’s remnants.

“Echoes of the Ocean”
Exploring the delicate yet enduring beauty of nature through the skeletal remains of a shell. Just as the ocean shapes and wears away at its treasures, time leaves its mark on all things. The fragile structure serves as a reminder of both resilience and impermanence, capturing a moment of transformation where nature’s remnants tell a silent story of the sea.

“Sediment of Silence” - Series
Carved by salt and surrender, these works speak the language of stone, fractured yet eternal, weathered yet resilient. These pieces draw breath from the Australian landscape, where tides erode the edges of stone, deteriorating into tales of what once was; and where fossils lie entombed, preserving echoes of ancient lives.
I am drawn to the slow violence of water against earth, the relentless rhythm of decay and renewal. Each mark and form are a reflection of impermanence, a testament to the delicate yet indomitable forces shaping our world. Through texture, depth, and erosion made tangible, these works ask: what remains when the sea has its way? What stories linger in the bones of stone?
In this series, I embrace ephemerality, celebrating the silent endurance of the land. These works do not simply depict the landscape; they embody it; its scars, its memory, its infinite transformation.
This work captures the quiet dialogue between rock and sea—a moment of erosion, resilience, and transformation. Nestled near a tidal pool, the stone bears the imprint of shifting currents, its surface shaped by the ceaseless movement of water and time. Weathered yet steadfast, it reflects the tension between fragility and endurance, the ever-changing and the enduring. Through form and texture, this piece speaks to the ocean’s slow inscription upon the land, revealing a history written in salt, wind, and tide.

This work captures the quiet dialogue between rock and sea— a moment of erosion, resilience, and transformation. Nestled near a tidal pool, the stone bears the imprint of shifting currents, its surface shaped by the ceaseless movement of water and time.
Weathered yet steadfast, it reflects the tension between fragility and endurance, the ever-changing and the enduring. Through form and texture, this piece speaks to the ocean’s slow inscription upon the land, revealing a history written in salt, wind, and tide.
“Lichen—The Quiet Alchemy of Growth”
Digitally manipulated photographs
500mm x 600m
2024
Lichen is an enigma—neither plant nor fungus, but a clandestine collaboration, a quiet rebellion. It does not merely grow; it embroiders itself onto surfaces, a living tapestry spun from patience and persistence. A slow-burning symbiotic dance of survival, it blooms in what appears to be in suspended stillness, stitching itself across forgotten spaces, whispering the language of time.
This work distils the quiet sorcery of symbiosis—where algae and fungi entwine in a delicate covenant, thriving in places where solitude might have meant sterility. Lichen is nature’s alchemist, transmuting air, light, and time into fractal filigrees of life. Its forms ripple and sprawl like muttered incantations, earth’s lace unravelling over centuries.
With delicate textures and layered hues, this piece captures the poetry of coexistence—where opposites don’t just endure but thrive. The work whispers of life in the margins, of encrusted silent adornment and fungal ornamentation. Through time’s patina weaving worlds in minute proportions. Lichen is not loud, yet it speaks in growth. This is its murmuration, rendered in pigment and form.
“Splendour awaits in minute proportions.”
This series of photographs explores the haunting beauty of Burnham Beeches in Alfred Nicholas Gardens. A once-grand Art Deco structure now veiled beneath the quiet persistence of nature. The images distort the familiar, revealing a spectral presence that lingers within the abandoned walls.
The building, once a symbol of human ambition, now stands as a relic consumed by time. Its history concealed beneath layers of creeping foliage, with undertones of a past life concealed beneath creeping vines and fractured surfaces, a tale of ruins. Yet, unwavering, it endures—silent, weathered, and defiant.
This work reflects on the inevitable cycle of decay and renewal, where nature reclaims what was once taken, blurring the line between creation and reclamation. Once a testament to human ambition, the building now surrenders to the wild, where roots and shadows entwine with history. This is a meditation on the beauty of decay, where the past lingers, and nature, ever patient, takes back its own.

“Behind Closed Walls”
Digital Manipulated Photographs

2024
This series of blurred and manipulated photographs delves into the tragic history of the Magdalene Laundry at Abbotsford Convent, where thousands of girls and women were sent from the 1880s until 1974.
These images, distorted and fragmented, mirror the fractured lives and silenced voices of those who were condemned by society and forced into a life of penitence. Court orders, family rejection, and societal judgment led these women to the Convent, where their stories were buried beneath the weight of shame and neglect.
Through these images, I aim to unearth the emotional and physical scars left behind, giving visibility to a painful history that lingers in the shadows—reminding us of the resilience and suffering of those who were forgotten.

2020
These works unravel the haunting beauty of decay and renewal, where bones and flowers intertwine in an inverted, liminal space. Suspended between life and death, they exist in a state of eerie equilibrium—flourishing yet fading, withering yet eternal.
Bones, stripped of flesh, stand as relics of the past, silent witnesses to time’s erosion. Flowers, delicate and fleeting, emerge from the void, their ephemeral vibrance a stark contrast to the unyielding remnants of mortality. The inversion distorts perception, unsettling the familiar, as if glimpsing a world where death does not end but transforms, where nature reclaims and resurrects in a quiet, macabre reverence.

"Fluorescent Origins”
This work reimagines the hidden lifeblood of nature, the tree root—as a vivid, surreal entity pulsing with energy. Often buried beneath the earth, roots are unseen yet vital, anchoring, nourishing, and connecting. By amplifying their presence through vibrant colour manipulation, I unveil their raw, organic power, transforming them into something both familiar and otherworldly.
The exaggerated hues disrupt the natural order, blurring the boundary between reality and abstraction. This manipulation challenges the viewer to see beyond the ordinary, to recognize the unseen forces that sustain life. The roots, usually overlooked, become a striking focal point—a symbol of resilience, interconnectedness, and the unseen beauty beneath the surface.
Through this work, I invite contemplation on the hidden structures that sustain us, both in nature and within ourselves. What lies beneath is not just foundation—it is life in motion, waiting to be seen.

"Chimeric Grove"
These series of works explore the tangled, unseen connections of nature through digitally manipulated, intertwining tree trunks. Inverting the image disrupts our perception of the natural world, transforming the familiar into an ethereal, almost ghostly presence. The layered trunks weave together like veins of an ancient organism, blurring the lines between solidity and illusion, reality and dream.
By distorting and layering these forms, I seek to highlight the silent, interwoven networks that trees create—both above and below the surface. The inversion challenges traditional perspectives, evoking themes of transformation, duality, and the hidden forces that shape our environment.

“Silent Season”
This series of black and white photographs delves into the profound isolation experienced during the COVID-19 lockdown, capturing moments of solitude, reflection, and the stark reality of spending Christmas alone. In the absence of social connection, these images convey a sense of quiet emptiness—where time stretches, the familiar becomes foreign, and the world outside feels both distant and unreachable.
The absence of color emphasizes the rawness of the experience, stripping away distractions and focusing on the emotional landscape of being confined to one’s home. Through these photographs, I explore the complex relationship between self and space, as isolation becomes both a physical and emotional space in which one is forced to reckon with their thoughts, memories, and sense of identity.
Spending Christmas alone, typically a time of shared warmth and celebration, becomes a powerful symbol of the broader loneliness of the pandemic. The images aim to reflect not just the solitude of a single moment, but the collective yearning for connection during a time when distance was mandated, and isolation became a shared reality.

2020
This series of black and white photographs marks a journey of creative experimentation, where the boundaries of self-expression are pushed and distorted, embracing the weird and the wacky and unrevealing the abstracted fragments of solitude. In a time of isolation during the COVID-19 lockdown, the familiar world shrank, and the unknown beckoned—prompting me to explore new ways of seeing, creating, and being. The photographs reflect this evolution, capturing moments that venture beyond traditional form, allowing chaos and abstraction to merge with the introspection of solitude.
Through this series, I sought to experiment with unconventional compositions, lighting, and perspectives—turning everyday spaces and objects into uncharted landscapes of the bizarre. The decision to strip away colour serves to sharpen the focus on form and shadow, amplifying the strange and the unexpected within the familiar. Each image is a product of spontaneous creativity, inviting the viewer into a world where rules are bent, and new meanings are born from the unlikely.
In this work, I embrace the unexpected beauty of imperfection and the joy of being unapologetically creative—finding freedom in the weirdness and wonder in what lies outside of traditional artistic norms. These photographs are a celebration of experimentation, a playful yet profound exploration of how creativity can thrive even in the most restrictive circumstances.
“Queen of Madness”
In the quiet of four walls, I began to bend,
Twisting the norm, no beginning, no end.
Light turned sideways, shadows took flight,
The world upside down, black and white.
Dishes became planets, walls turned to skies,
Books grew legs and took me by surprise.
Christmas alone, with a dreary twist,
I danced with my thoughts, I couldn't resist.
The fridge hummed tunes, the sofa did sway,
In solitude's grasp, I painted the day…
Into night
eccentricity became normal, quirky was king,
In this mad, odd world, I began to sing.
Zoom calls like ghosts, in pixelated air,
We laughed and we cried, but we weren’t really there.
Masks on my face, but smiles on my screen,
An experiment in living, in spaces unseen.
The house was a circus, the kitchen a dream,
All things were possible, or so it did seem.
Stuck in this loop, but what could I do?
I made art from my madness, and the madness made me new.
“Queen of Madness”
Poem
Written during lockdown
11/07/2020
During the COVID-19 lockdown, as the world slowed and the days blurred, I found solace in the minimal time allowed outdoors. This series of photographs captures my attempt to reconnect with nature in a time of isolation, when every moment spent in the natural world felt precious and deeply needed. In these fleeting encounters, biophilia—the innate human connection to nature—emerged strongly within me, and I felt a profound sense of oneness with the environment.
Through the lens, I sought to rekindle my relationship with the earth, to remind myself of the beauty, rhythm, and resilience of the natural world. Each image reflects a quiet dialogue between myself and the landscape, an attempt to rediscover the calm and grounding that nature provides, even in the most uncertain of times. The photographs capture the simplicity and clarity found in nature's forms, showing how, in moments of stillness, we can reconnect with what sustains us.
This work is a meditation on the healing power of nature and the human need to be in relationship with the world around us. It celebrates the intimacy and balance that nature offers, even when the world feels disconnected.

“Fleeting Frames”
A series of untitled experimental photographs
This series of motion blur photographs captures fleeting moments suspended in time, a visual exploration of movement and impermanence. Through experimentation with shutter speed and light, I sought to embrace the fluidity and transience of life, allowing the blur to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. Each image is a testament to the imperceptible, the moments that pass too quickly to notice but are given weight and presence through the art of photography.
The blur is not an accident, but rather a deliberate exploration of how time bends and stretches within a single frame. In these images, the motion itself becomes the subject, and the stillness of the photograph contrasts with the energy and chaos of movement. These works ask the viewer to consider the space between the stillness and the blur, the brief pause in time when everything shifts just enough to be caught, yet never fully understood.
Through this series, I reflect on the idea that even in the most transient of moments, there is beauty to be found in the imperfection and unpredictability of motion. The photographs are a celebration of experimentation, where time itself becomes a medium and the very act of capturing motion allows me to preserve the evanescent nature of life.
“Night Life” - Series
This series captures the kinetic energy of the night, where the interplay of neon lights, motion, and time converge into a blur of vibrant intensity. Created through experimentation with aperture settings during a drive, I sought to explore how the shifting neon lights smear, duplicate, and warp, creating an ethereal sense of movement. Each image is a spontaneous dance of light, a fleeting moment where the energy of the city meets the stillness of the night.
The motion blur in these photographs is not just a technical result but a reflection of the transient and fragmented nature of our experience in the modern world. As the neon signs streak across the lens, they create a sense of simultaneous action and stillness, revealing how the world constantly shifts and changes, even in seemingly quiet moments. Through the deliberate manipulation of aperture and exposure, I created a visual symphony of overlapping and fading light, blurring the lines between reality and abstraction.
These works invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the chaos and beauty of the night, where time is compressed and the boundaries of perception are bent. The motion blur becomes a metaphor for the pace of modern life—frenetic yet fluid, fragmented yet whole. It is a celebration of experimentation, where the digital lens allows the fleeting moments of urban energy to be captured, preserved, and reimagined.

Sculptural Works
Varied sculptural, ceramic and installation based artworks
These glass vase-like sculptures draw inspiration from the warmth and untamed intencity of fire, capturing the enduring seduction of embers and amber. Their crackled surfaces evoke the texture of bark, as though the material itself holds the memory of something once burning, now frozen in time.
Through the interplay of transparency and texture, the pieces embody both the raw energy of flame and the quiet stillness that follows.
They are a rumination on transformation, where heat gives way to form, and fire’s impermanence is etched into glass—an homage to the resilience and strength

“The Re-Connection”
This series of copper shim panels explores the delicate intersection between industry and nature, examining how the forces of the natural world reclaim and transform man-made materials over time. Set within the outdoor environment, these panels undergo a slow process of erosion, influenced by weather, time, and the elements, offering a reflection on the Anthropocene—our era defined by human impact on the planet.
The copper surfaces, initially manipulated through patina, salt, vinegar, and flame painting, are placed in direct contact with the environment. This experiment allows the materials to deteriorate and disintegrate naturally, creating an ongoing dialogue between human intervention and nature’s power to reclaim. As the copper corrodes, it transforms into something new—each panel evolving with its own unique pattern of decay, demonstrating the impermanence of materials in the face of nature’s relentless forces.
This work is about material consciousness—how the materials we create, use, and discard interact with the environment. By experimenting with surface treatments and exposing these pieces to the forces of nature, I explore not only the transformative potential of the materials but also the tension between industry and the natural world. These pieces capture the process of becoming—how both the material and the landscape shift and change in response to time, environment, and human action.
In this series, I aim to provoke thought about our relationship with the materials we use, their lasting impact, and the ways in which nature continually reasserts itself, reordering and reshaping the traces we leave behind.

The creation of this work is rooted in experimentation and observation. Here are some photographs of the works and the environments that they evolved in.

“of Mourning and Worship”
This installation is a reflection on the ephemerality of nature, created through the collection and transformation of raw, found natural materials. The work serves as both a mourning and a reverence for the death of nature, offering a ritualistic altar that invites a sacred acknowledgment of the cycles of life and decay. Through the integration of dried tree branches, woven and knitted recycled wool, and hand-dyed materials, I explore the delicate balance between loss and worship, honouring the life forces that persist even as they fade.
The use of lichen-like structures and the dying process with the fungi Dead Man’s Foot reflects nature’s ability to reclaim, transform, and renew. The dye created from this fungus, as well as wood stain derived from it, symbolize the melding of life and death, growth and decay. Each thread woven and every branch used carries the weight of history—both natural and human—bringing together the past and present in an intimate, tactile form.
The addition of collected mud further grounds the installation in the earth, using it to form and shape the structures that make up this alter-like space. This mud, drawn from the land itself, symbolizes the inextricable connection between our actions and the world around us. The piece speaks to the impermanence of nature, inviting the viewer into a space of contemplation, where we can witness the beauty and fragility of the world, while acknowledging our role within its cycles.
This work is an offering—an act of creation and mourning, a space where we can recognize the sacredness of nature, and in doing so, find a deeper connection to its rhythms and transitions..
The inspiration for this installation was sparked by a vibrant cluster of yellow lichen I discovered in nature. Its bold color and intricate form captivated me, symbolizing both the fragility and resilience of life. This encounter prompted me to create a space that honors the fleeting beauty of nature.
Creating Dye from Fungi
A fascinating aspect of this project was the process of extracting dye from Dead Man’s Foot, a type of fungus. The fungus’s vivid yellow hue inspired me to harness its natural pigment, prompting an exploration of how nature’s resources can be transformed into artistic expression. After foraging for the fungus, I carefully processed it to release its rich, earthy colour, using it to stain recycled wool and yarn. This dyeing process became a transformative ritual, where the organic material was alchemized into something new, yet its roots remained firmly grounded in the earth. The resulting shades, from soft, muted yellows to more intense, vibrant tones, reflect the cyclical nature of life—capturing the delicate interplay between decay and regeneration. The fungi-derived dye not only enriched the visual language of the installation but also deepened its conceptual connection to nature’s enduring strength and the life cycle of the materials we use.

"Between Worlds: Slavic Deities Reimagined"
This series of drawings is a visual exploration of Slavic deities, celestial and elemental beings that were once deeply woven into the fabric of my cultural heritage. These entities exist beyond time, embodying both awe and terror, creation and destruction. Their presence is all-encompassing, both ominous and protective, mirroring the duality of nature itself.
Through intricate linework and atmospheric compositions, I seek to revive the forgotten echoes of these deities, capturing their ethereal power and mysticism. Each figure is a manifestation of the unseen forces that shaped the beliefs of my ancestors—spirits of the sky, earth, and elements, lingering between worlds. These drawings are not just representations but invocations, rekindling a lost connection to Slavic mythology, honouring the divine forces that once guided and haunted the lives of those who worshipped them.

“Floral Echoes” & “Layered Blooms”
Exploring the layered nature of growth, both in plants and in personal experiences. These prints combine delicate floral forms with abstract patterns to reflect the interconnectedness of life. Through layers of colour and texture, I wanted to convey a sense of depth and rhythm, capturing the way nature’s patterns repeat and evolve.
In representing times of clarity and movement, and capturing fleeting moments of stillness within nature’s continuous cycle, juxtaposing soft botanical imagery with bold, gestural marks, I invite viewers to consider the harmony between structure and spontaneity in the world around us.
By embracing both organic and abstract elements, my work seeks to blur the boundary between what is controlled and what is left to chance. Just as nature thrives in unpredictability, these prints emerge through a process of experimentation, where textures and forms evolve intuitively. Each mark, each layer, becomes a reflection of change—of life’s ability to adapt, transform, and find balance in the unknown.

“365 Moments: A Year in Art"
"365 Moments: A Year in Art" is an exploration of time, memory, and the evolving creative process. Each 10cm x 10cm square represents a single day, accumulating into a visual diary spanning an entire year. This project captures the ebb and flow of daily life—its fleeting emotions, inspirations, and reflections—distilled into compact yet expressive compositions.
Through this commitment to daily creation, I challenge the boundaries of routine and spontaneity, allowing each piece to stand as both an individual artwork and a fragment of a larger, interconnected whole. The work embraces the beauty of imperfection, the impact of consistency, and the unpredictability of inspiration.
Over time, patterns emerge—shifts in colour, texture, and form that reveal subconscious rhythms, seasonal influences, and personal evolution. This body of work is not just a collection of images but a meditation on time itself, reminding us that every day holds the potential for art, reflection, and transformation.
