Five Exercises for Graceful Hands (2023)
Inspired by a chance autoplay video on YouTube, my artwork explores the contrast between idealised forms of aesthetic beauty and the hand, wrist and finger deformities caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Project Gallery (255 Keira St Wollongong) until 19/1/2025
Like to know how messed up my vestibular system is? I get awful motion sickness in a swimming pool.
Yes. In a pool.
Let me tell ya, it’s not so great when you’re trying to do hydrotherapy and you spend the entire time dealing with nausea that’s caused by floating around with a pool noodle. 🤪

Rolling along in my powerchair down Keira Street, we encountered one of those electric scooters that had been left abandoned in the middle of the footpath.

Please don’t leave your scooter like this! It’s hard to get around them safely using a mobility device.

‘Soft Grids’ (2021) is look at how the grid influenced Modernist art, and how it has come to represent a type of colonialist overlay on the land. Mapping up cities, towns and farmland into grids has directly impacted upon Indigenous knowledges of country. Found yarns, wooden dowel and map pins.
