The Endless Delight of Delirium - small Ed. 2 of 30

This piece was inspired by the character of Delirium from Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel series and now Netflix TV show, The Sandman. Despite the hardships of existence, Delirium is always able to retreat into her colourful world of fish, bubbles and butterflies. With her childlike wonder she puts a unique spin on even the most mundane situations and reminds us to always appreciate the world with fresh eyes. Delirium is a fascinating character, both visually and psychologically, and it was a delight to portray her in this image.

Stories for walls and art for dreamers.

As a child I was enchanted with the fairy tales my parents read to me, believing the world was full of magic and mystery. Through photography I bring to life the kinds of stories I adored in my youth. These are the stories that bend and break the rules of reality. Where magic is part of the fabric of the universe.

I am a self-taught photographer who uses trick photography and Photoshop, along with characters, costumes, props and posing, to blend fantasy into the every day. My stories for walls offer an escape into a more interesting reality where people and the natural environment coexist in a harmonious relationship with just a touch of magic.

My work has been featured on a number of book covers and included in publications such as PhotoPlus Magazine, the Huffington Post, Bored Panda, Digital Photography School, and Our Narangba Magazine, among others. My portraits have been winners and finalists in the Heritage Bank Photographic Awards, MAMA National Photography Prize, Bowness Photography Prize, Brisbane Art Awards, Myself Prize, Clayton Utz Art Awards, Milburn Art Prize and Contemporary Art Awards.
