 neon, transformer and cable. 50cm x 59.7cm (neon only) 


This work was developed from a conceptual working drawing and intervention for an exhibition with fellow artist and colleague Sara Morawetz in 2018. It acts as a motif of my memory of the space and time working there. As a drawing material neon alters form as the light activates the line and our perception of it shifts with our position and the ambient light. There is a sense of impermanence, which matches the tenuousness of memory.
I work in an expanded field of practice, motivated by a desire to understand our relationship to place using processes of collecting, mapping and measurement to express the discovered relationships. I have exhibited in Australia and overseas, with work in private collections and the National Art School Archive. I have had numerous residencies in Paris, Sydney and Regional NSW. I lecture at the National Art School having completed a Master of Fine Arts there. Previously I have also been a board member of STACKS Projects Inc and ES74, with an earlier career in publishing and design.
