Shown in April/May, 2021 at Neon Parlour Gallery alongside artist Rod Gray, messy, energetic gestures and scratching’s are laden with darker undertones, where materiality and expression converge to tell an abstract story of memory and imagination. In the series ‘Dark Passage’, haunting dream-scapes explore personal narratives of struggle and growth. Depression and anxiety have shaped these journeys, but so too has the yearning for clarity and joy. Boats become a recurring metaphor, perhaps as a form of emotional containment in themselves, compartmentalising, keeping hidden, processing. The mind and body as vessel, the viewer is invited to journey, inwards, through the darkness, to the depths of human psychology. Utilising the tension between abstraction and figurative subject matter, the fragile balance between tranquillity and torment intend to reveal a common ground, connecting people through shared experiences.

​

I acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nations as traditional custodians of the land on which my artwork is created upon.

I recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture, and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
