What Remains
Unsaid

The work changes according to the viewer’s location, responding to the current season where they are. The seasons can also be entered manually, allowing the viewer to move the flower between spring, summer, autumn and winter at will by typing the season name.

Seasons pass without announcement, colour fades and returns, growth gives way to decay... and the cycle begins again. The flower becomes a way of expressing those transitions without language; reflecting how time, memory and emotion can alter gradually, often before we have found the words for them.

What Remains Unsaid exists somewhere between permanence and change.

COLLECT

MUGSHOTS

20 works. 20 versions of the story.
One familiar suspect.

MUGSHOTS is a 1/1/20 collection featuring collaborations with M0dest, DeltaSauce, MRC ARTE and anz, bringing together moments from the story so far through a series of photographic records, questionable evidence and conflicting accounts.

From a wedding that never happened to a trail of questionable decisions, stolen fortunes, state lines crossed and a suspicious number of fires, the collection revisits the events that have led our protagonist to this point.

Each piece offers another fragment of the story, documenting the crimes, consequences and occasional lapses in judgement of a woman who has made a habit of being in the wrong place at precisely the wrong time.

Twenty photographs. One suspect. Several outstanding questions.

In collaboration with: anz, M0dest, DeltaSauce and MRC ARTE.

COMMISSIONS

YOUR IDEA. MADE PERSONAL.

A one-off artwork with a story of its own. I take on selected commissions for collectors, homes and spaces looking for something with a little more character.

Bring me an idea, a reference or a beautifully vague brief. Whether you have a clear vision or just know which wall needs better company, we’ll work out the direction, scale and details together.

To enquire, tell me a little about what you have in mind, your approximate budget and any deadline. We’ll take it from there.
