As one of 2021’s selected participants for The Farm Margaret River’s artist in residency, I spent eight magical weeks exploring the land and pushing the boundaries of my art practice. I continued my research into the local environment and the effects we as humans have on it, with a seesaw responce of optimism and pessimism. I also explored new areas of medium, including ephemeral and video.

At the conclusion of the residency I displayed my body of work in a solo exhibition Hidden and Unassuming at The Farm’s Hayshed Gallery.
