Painting

By harnessing decomposition I allow dead animal subjects to participate in the creation of their own image. This particular work features the bodily stain of a spring lamb with the addition of white ochre (delek) collected from a sacred site in Western Arnhem Land with members of the Warddjak clan.

Sculpture

My studio research focuses on the terse relations between wild dogs, dingoes and humans in southeast of Australia. It creates a visual language to convey the complexities of human relationship with the Australian natural environment and focuses on outsider species. A background in natural science has been crucial in developing my fascination for species perceived as repugnant and/or dangerous by humans.
