Statement

I use my body as a channel to investigate the iconic power of nature – a terminal through which explorations of imagination, memory, and sensorial understandings of gendered landscapes are filtered and structured into multilayered inter-art works. Exploring ideas of the feminine as allegory for natural environs I create site-specific projects that comprise of written reflection, drawings, textiles, sculpture, video art, and performance works. Each of these modes of creativity is a layer through which I explore a feminine form of place-making in places ranging from a 200 million year old gorge in Cataract Gorge National Park, Launceston, Tasmania to a partial crossing of The Simpson Desert in Central Australia, to the Negev Desert in Israel.
