I acknowledge the Traditional Darkinjung People as the Traditional Custodians and knowledge holders of the land on which I live, learn and work.
I acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first artists and storytellers on the continent and pay respect to First Nations communities’ Ancestors and Elders. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

I am constantly searching through archives, image banks, memories and landscapes looking for new ways to 'see' as an artist. This process of scanning allows me to uncover unique connections between seemingly disparate elements that are in turn unified by my own major themes and preoccupations. It is through this process of knowing, of comparing my vision with that of others, that I attempt to depict nature in a new light – as if seen for the first time. Botany is used as a metaphor to explore distant and recent history, like man, nature also travels, colonizes and kills. What is collectable in one culture becomes a parasite in another.

Using numerous different techniques, I offer a physical and conceptual journey, questioning in a contemporary way the topics of the encounter, the collecting, as well as the memory and the identity. My own journey from France to residence in Australia has generated in me a set of interpretations that I bring into my work.

Current Projects

THE RIVER
The river embodies an emblematic metaphor for the very notion of my journey, its mood and the nature of its penetration of the landscape. The river project also embodies an emblematic metaphor for the very notion of my journey, its mood and the nature of its penetration of the landscape. It inspires me to experiment with different materials, surfaces and mediums.
The river system was a first connection with the landscape, the connection from the sea to the land and the starting point for exploration and colonisation. It is etched with the marks of Australia’s pre-colonial and colonial history. The marks of a sustainable and cyclical approach right through to one of brutal dispossession and ecological devastation.

STRATIFICATION OF MEMORIES
It investigates the memory from the point of view of the found objects and discarded photographs of others to create an imagined biography mixed with my own photographs blurring the lines between the personal and the fictional.
