Printmaking

My body of work analyses how women disguise their identities, wearing masks to navigate their world and performing in social interactions. These responses arise due to demands to fit in, control their behaviour and hide their genuine feelings. I have used delicate lines to represent vulnerability and individuality, and bold prints for conformity and external pressure. My intention in my work is to challenge the authenticity of behaviours shaped by gender roles and to communicate how external factors influence identity formation. I encourage audiences to think about the complex balance between self-expression and societal acceptance.

As a teenager I see how constant screen use among adolescents fragments reality, so my intention in Signal Lost was to parallel the emotional impact of contemporary isolation through digital addiction with the disorientation of early Australian settlers. In my body of work I combined etched laser-cut phone cases - representing dependence - with monotype printmaking, fragmented compositions and reversed prints of blurred child figures and moody bushland to convey vulnerability and loss. My work recontextualises national imagery to critique modern disconnection, encouraging the audience to reflect on our digital habits and to reconnect with nature.

My body of work conveys the restorative power of nature that I experience at my family's property in Capertee. It examines moments of pause in the natural world, with the intention of forming a visual journal of presence, landscape and tranquility in the countryside. The recurring motif of the tent window represents a threshold between inner contemplation and the vastness of the landscape, inviting the audience to pause and reflect.

Printmaking

My body of work is inspired by my grandparents and the objects they have collected over their lives. I was drawn to their collections - treasures of the past full of stories, hidden objects tucked away in drawers and boxes: carved coconut shells, bronze samurai figures, bones, tools, old photographs. To my grandparents these possessions feel both precious and, as time has passed, burdensome. To me these unusual objects reveal an unseen inner world. My work represents this complexity, each engraved line and repeated print conveying how stories and objects accumulate over time.
