Some text about me and us
I am an artist based between the south east and south west of the Australian continent. My art practice is an attempt at thinking and feeling a place in the world. It is driven by the desire for understanding and by navigating or resisting contemporary conditions of distraction and techno-social tangential thinking. From my positionality as inheritor and beneficiary of the colonisation of this place, I am invested in a critical cultural engagement with the realities of settler-colonial modernity in so-called Australia; and with its various global catchments and outlets. I am interested in entanglements of the now, in cycles and feedback loops, in mythologies of separation, in infrastructure as monument, in photography as show-and-tell, and in art as a tomb or altar.
I make most of my work alongside Rebecca McCauley.
Also I often work under the collaborative moniker Big Four Holiday Camp (B4HC) with Rebecca McCauley, Eliki Read, and Jack Mitchell.
Together we are trying to make art that sometimes affirms and sometimes challenges. Sometimes big and sometimes a little smaller.

I also work together with many people to document and communicate art, events, peopel and places through a commercial photographic practice here –> waterrunningslowlyoverrocks.com
