Contemporary Australian Mixed-Media Conceptual Artisan.

I tend to let the idea dictate the chosen media and aesthetic (also my subjective visual baggage). My often wearable work seats and swings somewhere between pop, personal and formal.

Wherever possible I attempt to utilise random, found n’ discarded objects/ conversation/ imagery/ text that seem to have a certain nostalgia and narrative history.
