The photograph was taken using a stop motion camera and a torchlight, playing with light. The image was taken on a rock in a forest in brisbane, and the model in the image is me.

It was always there, why couldn’t I see it?

I made these works using large text that would cover the canvas and glued them onto a foam sheet and cut out the letters to make stencils. I had to measure the text size to the size I would want them to be on the canvas, then outlined the stencils with a pencil and painted the outline in white. Originally the artwork was going to tay simply painted, but I have a passion for embroidery from a very young age and I felt the work would have more emphasis if I embroidered all the words and focused on the background as well. The thread I used for the words is messy and all encompassing- it’s a peice that shows me as an artist, someone who never gives up even when the embrodiery causes pain.

I’m so tired, not just physically

This work was made on a wooden canvas and painted with oil sticks. I remember getting the oil sticks from my art shed; and I remember how in like 3 days they were all run out. A lot of these works were made with the remaining supplies- I consider that to be a fun challenge- as it is more abstract and using your creativity/ resources instead of having a specific vision for your work- you just go with the flow.

Flowers to heal my soul #2

The images of this work were taken on a iPhone 14- I only ever buy something expensive if it is absolutely necessary. I have lost almost all my savings from not being able to work due to trauma- and on all the art supplies that I need in order to make work that helps me cope. I bought this iPhone 14 for the camera- I knew it would be perfect for photography. It was one of my best investments

Two women, one in staring into space contemplating her next move, the other calm and relaxed eyes shut mid slow blink and closer to the viewer. This is all fabric and is referred to as Fabric Art or Textile Art. The women were from a comic book, and were based on Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell from the 1960's. My inspiration for textile art is Bisa Butler whose works are amazing.
