Born Wairoa, NZ.

Using mixed photographic and digital methods, my work explores new and historical interrelationships through the merging of family and household artefacts with native and introduced flora, to produce new contrived environments.

Influenced by the stories and imagery of Alice in Wonderland and The Secret Garden — both which echo the colonial mindset, I am interested character transformations catalysed by immersion in new environments.

Additionally, influenced by Dutch artists of Pronkstilleven, a style of still life painting that captured objects, fruits, flowers and ephemera to convey over-abundance.

Lives in Melbourne with my daughter and a large cat.
