Description

Dry Season No. 5 begins with what is often overlooked. Sun-bleached leaves, brittle stems, and seed heads hold the imprint of long months without rain. Photographed close to home, these fragments carry the quiet tension of an Australian summer, where stillness can signal both endurance and impending danger. Set against constructed digital environments, the work sits between observation and intervention, nature and design, recording a moment when the land feels both familiar and unsettled.

In a living space, the work breathes gently. Muted tones and flowing forms create a calm rhythm, inviting quiet reflection. Dry Season No. 5 brings the outside in—not as a view to escape to, but as a gentle presence, a subtle reminder of the soft textures, rhythms, and life of the world beyond our walls.

My artistic practice is rooted in a deep engagement with the environmental crises of our time. As a multidisciplinary artist, I merge traditional and digital media to reflect the fragility of the natural world and respond to the growing impacts of climate change, bushfires, and ecological loss. The 2019/20 Australian bushfires had a profound impact on my work, pushing me to explore imagery that moves between beauty and devastation. I’m drawn to how nature endures and transforms—ideas I express through layering, fragmentation, and abstraction. My process is fluid and grounded in materiality. It often begins with photography—capturing burned timber, landscapes, ephemeral light, and organic matter. These images form the base for digital collages that evolve through intuition and technique. I sometimes integrate AI-generated elements, blending the natural with the synthetic to mirror the uneasy relationship between nature and human intervention. This work is both warning and requiem—an invitation to look more closely at the world around us. Through visual storytelling, I hope to stir reflection on what’s at stake and what’s still possible in a future shaped by care, urgency, and change.
