Campaspe Artists Studio Trail

I am an artist and arts and cultural producer living, working and creating on the lands and waterways of the Wollithiga Peoples on Yorta Yorta Country, in Echuca.

I grew up on the waterways and land of Mil/Barka (Murray-Darling Rivers) on Latji Latji and Wilyakali Country. I come from the Irish, Welsh, Jewish and Chinese settler heritages of these places. I am passionate about creative place-based research, collaboration, connecting with diverse river communities and our local wetland environments.

My creative practice investigates concepts of place, time and memory through embodied movement, performance and visual practices. Particularly, I am interested in the materiality of place and how we connect to these spaces. I aim to share how the environments that we inhabit intimately connect us to who we are or who we are becoming and how this informs our care for them, and each other.

I often collaborate with other artists to create work and am currently facilitating a creative studio space with artist Maggie Ellis, called Factory 20A.

In the factory we have our own studio spaces as well as space to work collaboratively together to devise new creative initiatives and or artwork that connects people and place, as an intimate concept. An example of this is ‘Daggy Dancing’ and our newly formed collective of artists coming together to share food and explore what ‘sharing’ means as a creative act and cultural practice.

I have studied fine arts at the National Art School and arts administration, performance, art theory and philosophy at UNSW Art and Design and University of NSW, in Sydney.
