Artists Residence Hotel Brighton

Commissioned to paint a bedroom in the Artist Residence, I drew inspiration from the fairytale -East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Creating a forest of illustrative creatures whose eyes glow in the dark, the hotel room was designed to feel as if you were falling asleep in a magical forest. With a subtle soundtrack of gentle forest sounds, insects and wildlife designed to play if you needed help drifting off.

Cargo

Cargo was a project I collaborated on with Punk Collective 2000DS. We parked a truck on the Brighton Seafront and projected video footage of different subject matter to the theme of cargo- looking at how capitalism has fundamentally transformed the way we view nature and the world around us.

Calling The Past

A city wide listening project for Brisbane funded by the Creative Sparks Grant. We recorded personal histories from residents across the city and made them available to listen from phone booths in the areas where they originally happened. For the month of June, you could walk up to a phone booth in the city and call a number and hear a story of what the place you were standing in was like 20 - 70 years prior.

URBNE

Engage Arts commissioned me to create small installations and a performative site walk through King Edward Park. The artworks in the park framed how we interact with public space, and provided a space for dreaming. The work asked you to consider possibilities in how we experienced and used the park, instead of a thoroughfare it became a destination.

The Lines Between Us

As part of the White Night Festival in Brighton, I created a luminescent space using black light and luminescent string. The artwork is about making visible what is invisible. Exploring ideas of quantum theory, and how our experience is relational to everything around us in each moment. We read through our senses and are only able to experience the world as our perspective dictates, and this work plays with other ways of experiencing and understanding the world around us. Drawing from indigenous perspectives where we are simply a connected part of life to a greater whole and the individual doesn't exist, 'the lines between us' attempted to illustrate our connection to the world around us.

Glastonbury Festival

Shangri-La

The Shangri-La field at Glastonbury is the last field of the festival that opens at night and closes in the morning. A series of interactive installation and performance spaces interwoven into the stages, each year the Shangri-La has a different theme. In 2010 and 2011 I was commissioned to create an installation and a shopfront.

Lines of Flight

As part of my residency at the Banff Centre in Canada I had a solo show of small sculptures, carvings and vinyl works. I filled the space like and installation, using tape and vinyl to create flat images of 3 dimensional objects. Lines of flight reference the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the line of flight
representing the potential for new linkages across existing boundaries. Lines of flight are posed against static forms and structures, creating both disruption and connection in a constant process of evolution.

The Anatomy of Becoming

Installation created for the exhibition 'Tales from a Cold Ghost' in Australia. The anatomy of becoming was a sculptural work exploring the ways we grow.
