The pictures of anthropomorphic figures I create explore ideas about the nature of individuality. Specifically I’m interested in how identity is expressed via the body; physical appearance and the ways it can be altered; the skin and its potential to be the stem point for transformation.

I am an unashamed collector of ‘flotsam and jetsam’ as I am with the ideas behind my work. Many elements are drawn from childhood memories, personal experience, environmental issues, folkloric stories and histories (intrinsically Australian), and from a myriad of other places. They become translated and morph into the images I make.

My work currently focuses on the stray dogs I have encountered. These images reflect a mediation of their very being whilst attempting to understand, acknowledge and depict different ways of seeing.
