About

b. 1991
Boorloo, Western Australia

I am interested in the construction, situation, and agency of images. Working across photography, graphics, and drawing, I appropriate the languages of everyday images to surface latent social and mythic desire. My work often engages ambivalently with political conflict, withholding stable resolutions and implicating viewers in the production of meaning.
