I am a Melbourne-based artist working with textiles, using second-hand materials to create mixed-media collages. My current practice focuses on sustainability and materiality.

Studio Foliage
Recycled fabric, soft plastic
2025
Laborious art forms like knitting challenge the fast-paced, profit driven textile industry through its slowness and mindfulness. Studio Foliage uses discarded fabric from my studio floor, with repetitive stitches echoing both industrial automation and natural patterns like cells, leaves, and DNA. This work uses contemplative knitting to replicate the environment we are destined to destroy through continued unsustainable textile production.

This work brings together an enduring symbol of resilience and femininity with one of our most wasteful material practices: denim. Durable, mass-produced, and endlessly adaptable, denim reflects the strength, diversity, and undervalued labor often associated with vulva owners. Referencing Greg Taylor’s work Cunts and other conversations at MONA, this piece critiques the capitalist tendency to commodify everything - including our bodies.
Each individual Junt/Jussy represents 10,000 tonnes of textile waste produced annually in Australia, collectively totalling a confronting 300,000 tonnes. Materials for this piece were collected roadside, from opshops and gifted from personal collections. The use of thrifted zippers alludes to the myth of the vagina dentata - a vagina with teeth, castrating men and symbolising the monstrous feminine. Simultaneously the zipper acts as an opening that has to be stimulated in order to allow access, playing with modesty vs exposure, as well as the sensual and tactile nature of unzipping pants or arousing a vulva. By reworking and recycling denim, the artist stitches together concerns of environmental degradation, mass production and body politics.

Through tangled textures and fraying edges, this work cultivates a deeply personal topography. The laborious process of using three limbs to operate the machine, and the presence of old clothing, dust and saliva highlight the intimate, bodily connection to the work. This process not only revives discarded materials but also acts as a personal, cathartic practice, intertwining thought with healing
Its all your fault Mum Cake
Fabrics, various haberdashery, yarn, plastic jewellery, cardboard

25x25x20cm
This work serves as a sarcastic celebration of a tense and detrimental relationship. The adorned text acknowledges the immense responsibility and expectation placed on mothers in our conventional patriarchy - while similtaniously expressing unabashed and childish resentment.
Cunt Cake

2025
33x33x34cm
This work is a maximalist, overcompensatory expression of girlhood. With fleshy pink haberdashery for shining labia, frilly pubic hair and shining hearts and clitorises.
I’ll be the warp, you be the weft

In traditional loom weaving practices, the warp (vertical threads) pass over and under the weft, (horizontal threads). I completed two collages individually; however, combined, they create a work that is deeper, layered, and physically strengthened.
Variations in weave tightness, fraying, and scale represent the fluid evolution of relationships; the shifts between ease and difficulty when two identities merge. The fabric selection for both collages was a collaborative process with my partner, reflecting our identities with the material.
Descending in a numeral, calendar-like way, the squares mark the passing of time. The colours and texture of the alternating collages blur and grow ambiguous in which belongs to which, symbolising the way love weaves two individuals together.
