In Residence at Bundanon

During my residency at Bundanon I will create a series of 6 drawings and 6 paintings in preparation for my solo show “Sixty-Nine” at Verge Gallery in April 2024. “Sixty-Nine” presents the first time in my practice where I will be showing my paintings. This show will be about my own personal experience of longing for a shared space of intimacy, love and expression, represented through house floor plans, photos and drawings from my youth and child like painterly gestures.
