Starting the year with travel, research and a new project.

I love to travel—it's something that I forget I need until I'm away - to open my mind, think big and re-boot. 1 January 2018 marked the start of a new photo and jewellery project with the umbrella title Memory Palace. The new decade-long piece a day investigation will be divided into ten chapters, with each year marking a path of a life lived. These curated observations don't attempt to capture the perfect moment in any day—they are an effort to pause, connect and reflect. I

Keepsake Exhibition - It's a wrap

Kirrily Hammond and I presented two new collections of work for Keepsake at Bundoora Homestead Arts Centre in August to October 2017. By all accounts, the show was very well received with great attendance at the gallery and positive feedback--this may have had something to do with the fact that there were eight other shows on at the Homestead at the time of our show. However, this did mean the audiences that saw our show was diverse and went beyond the typical contemporary je

NEW WORK: MOMENTARILY HERE

Momentarily Here is a year-long photography & art jewellery project. I will present a selection of work from my current investigation Momentarily Here in a two person show with painter Kirrily Hammond titled 'Keepsake'. The exhibition will be featured as part of the Radiant Pavilion exhibition program in August in Melbourne. Keepsake plots a unique course across time—small traces captured on an iPhone between night and day, home and work, travelling from one place to another.

New projects & two-person show

I've started a new piece-a-day project that documents a moment each day over the course of one year. The project, MOMENTARILY HERE, plots a new course across time—traces captured between night and day, work and home, travelling from one place to another. The quiet moments when we consciously pause and ruminate before ‘busy’ takes over. The piece-a-day collection will inform work that will be created for a two-person exhibition KEEPSAKE at Bundoora Homestead in September 2017.

IT'S ALWAYS DARKEST JUST BEFORE DAWN

For the past few months, and for what really seems like forever long, I have been thinking, tinkering and creating my latest daily art project IT'S ALWAYS DARKEST JUST BEFORE DAWN. It's been a difficult project in many ways. Not in terms of creating a piece a day necessarily; I've done that twice before in other machinations. Somehow this journey has been a tough one sompared to the others. Moving through the everyday and trying to capture something in those ubiquitous, ordin
