...that awaits at the end of life 

Finalist National Works on Paper, VIC 2024

Winner of John Stringer Prize, WA 2022

I opened conversations about celebrating end-of-life with loved ones and embracing the unknown timeframe. There was a sense of urgency in caring for lost confabulations, skills and upholding traditions. While making this piece, important rites and repetitive rituals were cemented through and through. They all mark a spot, invites, and creates a bridge or doorway for taboo dialogues about preparation and commemorating the after-life. This work is a rumination on the relationship between paper and spirit – a personal journey of the quintessence of materiality, carried out, about and with traditional methodology in our fast-paced society.
