About

Exhibited at Casa das Artes Bissaya Barreto, Coimbra, PT
2023
 I was one of nine artists selected to showcase their vision of “what makes a home” at Casa Das Artes in Coimbra, Portugal. A home is a place of intimacy, protection, and security, but also of imagination and transcendence.

In Portuguese, “casa” refers to both "house" and “home". In English, the distinction is clear: "home" is rooted in memories and emotions, "house" is just a building. My artworks play with this distinction – a floating scene painted on glass hangs on top of inanimate houses. A single chair may have been used by hundreds of people in their life, containing thousands of memories and experiences.

The Wurundjeri People of the Kulin nation are the Traditional Owners of the land on which I work. I pay my respects to elders past, present and future. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
