I’m interested in what can be done with one’s identity and the space around it. Both my body and mind, touching everyday feelings between the rational, the playful and the political.
Of course, this is often to do with my disability and my sexuality. My work has been focused on access, and the lack of it — to places, people’s minds and opportunities.
I find plasticine is a great subverter of space and potentially of people’s minds. And the continued flexibility of it is something I am really enjoying — covering or filling up gaps and playing with crevices.
But I’m finding that my work is drawing more and more to spoken word as a powerful format.
I am a second generation white settler, of German and English descent. I live and work by the Birrarung, on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri people.
