EXHIBITION INFO

My practice has employed a range of mediums and techniques such as glass, painting and installation. I have previously created blown glass bush food to represent Aboriginal people and culture whilst integrating found objects and mixed media into my practice. I consider my practice to be interdisciplinary having moved across different areas, selecting media most appropriate to my ideas and intentions. My artwork is directly political, materials such as metal, string, and fabric have been used as a presentation device to present artwork that are chained, bound and covered – a direct metaphor for various processes of colonialism and the persistency of colonialism. I have previously played with the notion of containment and the removal of Indigenous Australians, creating artwork that depicts the idea of colonialism through creating installations, timed based and ephemeral work. Working across various mediums and spatial practices I have been able to create artwork that possesses an historical dialogue. By expressing different aspects of my heritage I am utilising visual art as a tool of communication to re-surface history, exposing hidden layers of Australia’s identity.
