Lives and works in Melbourne, VIC, Australia
—
My artistic practice is about seeing the world through the eyes of a child, having dealt with their dreams and anxieties in previous years - food, toys, paintings, drawings and art installations being the mediums which I have used. At its deepest level I am researching the childlike psyche as a way of understanding the world as an empath. This lifelong narrative is a conceptual fusion mediating my interests in psychology, philosophy and contemporary aesthetics.
