About My Practice
I am a multidisciplinary artist with cultural connections to Gamilaroi Country, working across printmaking, papermaking, jewellery, sculpture and installation.
Through native grains and grasses, and their embedded cultural and symbolic meanings within Gamilaroi knowledge systems, my practice explores resistance and cultural reclamation through material and process.
My work is informed by lived experience and ongoing processes of decolonisation, foregrounding First Nations knowledge systems and challenging dominant colonial narratives.
