Art + Design x Life

I helped bring this anthology of scripts to life by layering in curated content from scholars, politicians and asylum seekers themselves. Offering a deeper and more holistic understanding of the challenges asylum seekers and refugees face.

A local art competition I conceived, pitched and coordinated for Leichhardt Council in its inaugural year. Harnessing the power of art to change our day-to-day environment. Went on to run for 10 years and transform the landscape of my local municipality.

Madame Firefly is a spirited reinterpretation of the Orientalist narratives in operas like "Madame Butterfly" and "The Mikado". A firework lighting up the sky to ignite a playful revolt against the narrative constraints that once shackled her.

The carousel becomes a symbol of childhood innocence. And with each revolution, we find a mirror of passing years. And with each passing year we wonder, will we become who we hoped we would? Jump on board to find out!

"Hanuman the Handyman" is a whirling carousel of narratives. A spectacle of divine acrobatics. Flinging the monkey god into the spotlight. Again. This time, as an acrobat, a performer, a star who’s spent millenia preparing for this debut.

Surrounding Asma, miniature deer dance in lockstep on the wing of a bright pink plane, symbolising femininity and the fleeting passage of human life. Charged with the glittering power of little known histories reclaimed by those once kept outside them.

Bangkok isn’t just my second home. It IS home. As bright and hodge-podge as my bricolage memories of this special place that's changed as much as I have over the years. So very much indeed, and not at all...

f more people took their time with Bangkok the secret would be out. And it would become too popular for its own good! So this will just have to be our little secret, okay?

They poke through tides of doubt on the lookout for their lover's return. The wild one. The wise one. The one whose distance made their heart feel conquered. Growing fonder each day 'til they thought of nothing else.

Just because they're stuck doesn't mean they're trapped. Where could be better than down where it's wetter? Taking what they want, when they want, how they want. Of course... they do wonder, sometimes, if it's as warm as they say in Mermaid Bay...

Whoopsie — another wreck! By accident, like the rest. She's never known her own strength. And try as she might to soften it, her gentlest swish topples ships. Whipping up waves that spook the brave as she toddles off on another jaunt across the pond.

Rhea, the daughter of Gaia and Uranus, helped her Olympian offspring overthrow Cronus and establish a new cosmic order. This surreal collage artwork reflects her cosmic prowess and the steely resilience and determination of women through history.
