An Australian artist working outside the ordinary, I find beauty in what others discard—transforming reclaimed materials such as plastic, paper, teabags, textiles and aluminium can tabs into unexpected forms. Through repetition and labour-intensive techniques, my work invites close inspection and quiet reflection.
Each piece is an act of reinvention, aiming to recycle, upcycle or repurpose with purpose. By intercepting items destined for landfill, I challenge viewers to see hidden potential in the everyday. My hope is to surprise, to connect, and to inspire a lighter footprint—allowing audiences to recognise fragments of their own lives in the work.
