Last Chance Vacation 2017
The 1951 Refugee Convention recognises the right of persons to seek asylum from persecution in other countries. These images reference the USA travel ban from Muslim majority countries.
Familiar 2017
Familiar Series 2017
Perceptions from afar are not always accurate: Our acceptance of the traditional Muslim faith is being challenged by new visions of extremism, resulting in once-familiar decorative Islamic designs, symbols and Middle Eastern calligraphy now evoking, for some, fear and suspicion. In Familiar I have created a series of images to demystify the ‘other’ by connecting recognisable Australian imagery with familiar emblems of geometric patterned tiles and golden prayer mats, offering the viewer an avenue to engage with and acknowledge Australia’s cohesive communities.

The Follower Series
Lithograph and Collage
The Follower series reinforces the certainty that power is vested in the people and can be exercised by them directly. Australia’s system of representation and delegated authority should not be seen as a reason for careless acceptance of political decisions or events.

Auxin Series 2013
In this Auxin Series I explore the symbolic play between the life cycle of plants, their germination, flower, fruit, seed, and decay and the cycle of our own physical development and emotional rebirth.
I worked on this series throughout 2012 and early 2013.
Dedication Plaque 2011
Dedication Plaque is a response to the Brunswick Counihan Gallery exhibition theme of women in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, a tribute to the momentous contribution made by Victorian women for their service to public life. Suffragette colours have been used – white referencing public and private life, purple for dignity and self-respect and green symbolic for hope, growth and new life. The plaque is overlayed with the names and suburbs of women who have been elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Victoria since the centenary occasion. Their hard work makes my choices possible.
