BIOGRAPHY
I am intrigued by the seemingly ordinary and it's potential for surreal, extraordinary or absurd manifestations. Working across an array of mediums and materials, my work often plays with combinations of images or objects that are transformed in unexpected ways. Over the years, I have exhibited in numerous solo, group, curated, collaborative and award exhibitions around Australia and have also lectured at Swinburne University, the Australian Catholic University and at Photography Studies College Melbourne.
