Online Jury 2022 SWS Grand Jury 2023

I'm an Australian-based interdisciplinary artist whose creative output uses sound, video, and writing to explore layers of nuance and complexity within the rural and regional territories in which I work. I'm always looking for new voices and perspectives, human and more-than-human, seeking those hidden elements that make a place vibrate. Through ongoing study, observation, and field recordings, I aim to create bodies of work that may present environments in a way new to even those who know them well, teasing out narratives of connection and giving a voice to the voiceless. My works are presented in exhibitions, festivals, and online platforms.

I started out in print and radio journalism in the late 1980s and early 90s, but for the past 26 years, I've been working in issues-based communications and content production across regional New South Wales. My experience and knowledge of rural, regional and remote Australia underpins my creative practice.
