In Repair
In Repair is the largest cyanotype I’ve made so far, combining the print with painted and stitched elements.
The image shows villagers moving towards a religious procession, with painted doves rising above them. I was thinking about faith, disorientation and recovery, and the feeling of trying to find your way through something uncertain.
The red stitched circle sits over the image like both a wound and a repair, holding together something that feels like it is coming apart.
Fin de Siècle
Fin de Siècle was made using salvaged steel plates, rusty nails and old wood. I chose these materials because they already carry a sense of history.
The title refers to the end of a century and the uncertainty of being between one period and another. I was interested in that feeling of transition, where something is ending but you don’t know what comes next.
Black ink transfers of power lines, trains and aircraft are layered across the steel, bringing images of modern technology into materials that already feel old. As the prints overlap, they become less clear, reflecting how progress can change how we see ourselves and where we sit in time.
The Circle
The Circle is made from over 500 recycled corks with a spray-painted metallic circle running across the surface.
I wanted to use a material that had already been used and discarded, then bring those individual pieces together into one form.
The circle represents the cycles that make up our lives. Hundreds of separate pieces become one larger shape.
Relief
Relief was originally made as a trailer for an ongoing project with artist and friend Bailey McDermott.
For the project, we heat-transferred laserjet ink frames onto mulberry paper, giving the images a soft, textured quality. I separated the frames in InDesign before bringing them into Photoshop and turning them into a frame-by-frame animation.
I also shot and edited the video of Billie Diamond in Rye, Victoria.
