MY WORKS
GALLERY
Entwined, 2022
For this exhibition I collaborated with Jenny Manning who created a series of paintings of invasive plants. Our common concern about our dwindling native wilderness provided our theme which has been a great learning experience. Together and separately, we have explored plants such as the rare orchids of Canberra. These exquisite orchids are so vulnerable and to lose them would be a colossal tragedy. It was a new area for me to essentially make vessels, but the work leant itself towards these forms.
Cloud Shadows, 2015-2019
This series of sculptures has been inspired by my travels in China. I have explored images of women in China from ancient to modern times. As I attempt to encapsulate the vast changes in the roles of women over one thousand years I realise that I have set myself an impossible task! Nevertheless, my enthusiasm has not waned! The project was interrupted due to my spending a year in Berlin assisting our son who in hospital and rehab following a traumatic accident. Happily, he has now recovered and I am slowly picking up where I left off.
