The National Art School acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, the traditional owners on whose lands, water and skies we meet and share.

My practice explores the complexities of identity by challenging fixed notions of self and exposing the constructed layers of self-representation. Working in the expanded field of painting, I incorporate installation, performance, and digital technology to create immersive, multi-sensory experiences. The work functions as a performative revisal of personal experience, using autofiction to navigate the fluid and socially constructed nature of identity in contemporary culture. By blending autobiography with fiction, I investigate the artist’s capacity to shape meaning through self-disclosure, examining the dynamics of control inherent in how we influence others and the events around us. This becomes an alchemical process— involving a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation or combination, where new forms and meanings are revealed.
