We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which our campus is situated, the people of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung, who have created art, made music and told their stories here for thousands of generations. We also acknowledge and extend our respect to the Traditional Owners of all lands on which our work is viewed, shared and enjoyed, and to all Elders, past, present and emerging.

If only I had an anchor, I wouldn’t feel this pressure. Something to steady me. The weight of the ground below me. Unseen, silent, heavy. Always shifting. My work informs, and is subject to, these forces. Casting, fiber-glassing, electroplating. Bringing the forces forth from between the plates.


The surface is never just the surface. There is always more beneath. We ourselves are material: compacting, fusing, pulled apart, dancing, again and again.
