Did I mention I painted?
I was invited by Monash Uni’s Safer Community Unit to create this piece, reflecting on the theme ‘resilience’.

I decided to weave a basket to inform my reference for the painting, an act that only a few years ago my ancestors couldn’t do. Due to the effects of invasion, our cultural practices of weaving in my immediate family lay dormant. But that’s not the case anymore. This sleeping practice has been woken up. I created this basket with joy and love in every stitch, making up for lost time. This act of making is an act of resilience. This basket has an open stitch, with the intent of using it as a diving bag. Suggestions of this context are provoked with the background of flowing blues and bubbles.

This piece is on display until Aug 15, Matheson Library Level 1 Monash University. Not for sale.

Colours of Home
2026

These gums dancing away in the wind - their form seems to defy physics. But maybe that’s a thought to decolonise. For these gums are the life force of a people, and hold all the colours of Country. Their leaves are burned by the people, we dance as they sway. We become these beings. Home.

This piece is one and only. There will be no prints. For sale and on display at Art Mob. Hunter St, Nipaluna.

So stoked to be a part of this project 🧡🧡🧡

Let's light the fire on this album 🔥

The track ultimately challenges perspective and power by asking a confronting question.

Who is the monster, those hunted or those who hunted them?

Out Here stands as both remembrance and resistance, asserting that resilience is not just inherited, but actively lived.

Is my identity nothing but an act of protest?

'Out here' has landed!

What a treat 💛

Got to sketch up this gorgeous cockatoo for a collaboration with Auntie Vicki Burgess. This piece was brought to life on a silk kaftan, alongside Auntie’s other gorgeous works with the rest of the show.

These works were showcased at Koorie Heritage Trust for Blak Design, as well as Melbourne Design Week.

Thanks for trusting me with your vision Auntie Vicki 💛💛💛
