Open The paintings in the ‘Open’ series refer to the idea of ‘reopening’ that dominated pandemic vocabulary, 'when can we reopen and return to normal life again?'. These works respond to that common concern, and use the Apple keyboard shortcut for ‘open’ (⌘ + O) as both a visual reference and a metaphor for freedom and the desire to move forward.
Sisterhood To celebrate International Women’s Day, and the incredible women in my life and beyond, I created a series of paintings that reference the female symbol (♀). Using symmetry and interconnected shapes, the works look at ideas of unity, support and collective spirit, while bright, high-contrast colours give them an energetic and optimistic vibe.
Vortices These were painted during one of Melbourne’s long lockdowns in 2020, when time and routine began to feel repetitive and slightly disorienting. The sense of being caught in a continuous loop and unable to move forward became palpable. When the city reopened again, QR codes had become part of the visual and social landscape, and were distinct symbols of the 'new normal'.
