About the work
I’m a walking artist. I walk and draw to explore forms of thinking, feeling and knowing. Every week I visit Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in inner city Sydney as a voluntary Pastoral Care worker. These drawings are maps of my encounters while taking the crowded lifts to different levels in the hospital and walking through the wards. I listen to people who are confronting truths, often unforeseen and unwelcome; I am changed by these exchanges. I made these walking drawings to honour the mixture of honesty, courage and acceptance needed to face life’s unexpected turns.

About me
Living on Gadigal Country in Sydney, my experimental drawing practice is powered by walking. Walking mostly at night without a prescribed route, I am a human seismograph, a proprioceptive device moving in space while responding to my surroundings. I walk and draw with both hands while wearing a harness to hold my drawing board and carrying drawing materials in my pockets. The marks I make are unmediated and unexpected, a direct reflection of my sensorial attentiveness and presence in the world. My practice also includes being Chair of DRAW Space, Australia’s only artist-run drawing gallery and Secretary of the Australian Walking Artists. I teach at the National Art School and offer Walkshops in Australia and at conferences around the world.
