Bringing another human life into this world is a monumental occasion, one that has made me re-examine almost everything and question what is truly valuable in this existence. Through the use of word and image (and to no end) advertising messages promise us the ultimate comfortable and pleasant existence. As I pull the blankets up at night, I lie awake questioning how comfortable we really are. 

My work is a large quilt created from painted and screen-printed panels. The image and text on all of these is crops, either from local signage (photos taken around the city) or from advertising in local papers (from the past). The quilt has been put together for me by a Whyalla-based quilt maker. I am hoping to explore these types of collaborations further in future work.
