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.

Master of Contemporary Art

Masters – as a word and concept – provides the basis for this series of signs. I combine auto-biographical and space-responsive elements with the language of graphic design to create abstract symbols. These symbols draw attention to the idiosyncratic nature of communication, revelling in semantic instability.
