Past exhibitions
Baaka ngamaka’inana: The River, our Mother
Gallery 76, NSW Embroiderers' guild
August - October 2024
I was one of three artists involved in an exhibition called Baaka Ngamaka’Inana: The River, Our Mother, along with sculptor and printmaker Badger Bates, a Baakantji elder who grew up on the Baaka-Darling River, and Judith Burns, an academic geographer and stitcher.
We all created work that speaks to the ecological devastation inflicted on the Baaka-Darling by neglect and maladministration. I stencil-printed an ideal healthy river and began my ongoing slow-stitching project, The menindee memorial Loop, which honours the more than 30 million fish that died in the menindee fish kills.
on repeat, the art of playing with pattern
Sturt gallery, mittagong nsw
may - june, 2024
It's a show that deliberately challenges notions of what counts as Art, or what constitutes Design. I make my best work in the sweet spot between them, and, the work I've made for this show very much comes from blurring the boundaries and expanding the field.
This show featured textiles stencil-printed by hand. Some were shown as fabric lengths hung from the ceiling, artworks in their own right. Others were made into functional pieces, like lampshades, cushions, stools, and some very handsome Mid-Century Modern chairs.
This work was about the freedom of play, the shrugging off of constraints: my process felt joyful, improvised, and kind of musical, which is why I named each piece for a lyric or song title.
