I am an artist living and working on Gadigal land, Australia. My practice contemplates how we metabolise time; how memory is scaffolded; how to measure a pulse.
Light is the pivotal axis of my practice– simultaneously subject, ‘material’, and metaphor through which I explore the friction between presence and absence. I think a lot about thresholds, the concepts of becoming and dissolution, the rhythms that organise existence. I want to understand how duration is embodied, incarnated.
Most often, I turn to the alchemical processes of analogue photography and film, UV printmaking, and poetry. I make a photographic negative; photons calcify on emulsion. I render the negative on substrates of silk, or paper, or timber; traces of the manifest image settle upon organic membranes that hold the time of their own making. I operate under rituals of repetition, reiterating prints, layering exposures, subjecting them to cycles of chemical interventions, chewing an image like cud. I’m looking for something that persists, for the outlines and patterns that articulate an architecture of memory.
I hold a BFA from the National Art School (2023) and completed my Honours at UNSW Art & Design (2024). I exhibit across local ARIs (Schmick Contemporary, Puzzle, Slip Gallery) and commercial galleries (Curatorial & Co). My recent residency at Puzzle culminated in the artist book Between the Sun and the Shadow is a Tree in Chippendale.
