photo by Damien Laing

I’m an artist using photography, video, sound and material processes. I work with visual languages to explore speculative outcomes of failing human-centeredness and eurocentrism.

I am from Larrakia Country in the Northern Territory, and work between here and Naarm (VIC).

I acknowledge the First Nations sovereign custodians of the lands and waters I live and work on and honour their elders, culture and connection to country. This includes the Larrakia people (NT) and the Eastern Kulin nations (VIC). First Nations sovereignty was never ceded.
