Art & the possibilities that evolve
'I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded an Arts Commission with Moonee Valley City Council. This project will allow me to further explore my interest in the construction of patterns in architecture. Ornamentation is disappearing, there is a place for it here at the Flemington Community Hub, where it can be applied to a functional form to celebrate all that which connects community. These 7-metre internal/external facades have the capacity to display patterns and motifs; and this familiarity can be border-crossing. Patterns connect community'.
'This Art Project has been launched to inspire the Community at large to be a part of the history of this new public site; elements of their story in a composition of patterning and imagery, an optical attraction in placemaking of patterns inside and out.'

This work was featured in the Stitching Change exhibition at FortyFiveDownstairs Gallery – 45 Flinders Lane Melbourne.
It celebrates the classic. The Australian hills hoist. It touches on the idea of its current silent preservation in a constantly changing environment.
I have referenced the clothesline in past works, reinstalling art works during my second visit to China during an art residency in 2007
- a memory I will never forget.
I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where I work and live.
I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. I celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land of the
Bunurong /BoonWurrung nation.
