Artists Statement
In my work the body is in a constant state of becoming, a living action that is not discrete from the self but not truly understood. I work with monotypes to create unique images that collect that tension.
Initially the project began with themes of fear of an unknown in our bodily function. This anxiety was viewed through a dislocation between body and self. I drew on personal experience of body trauma, exhaustion and fear.
Printmaking is a highly physical process requiring increasing energy with increasing scale, my conceptual practice draws from the experience my material practice creates. Each monotype is a singular unreplicable print that captures gestural mark making rapidly and gives a sense if immediate presense.

We would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people who are the Traditional Custodians of this land. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging of the Eora Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginals present.
Sovereignty was never ceded. |
