Artist Statement 

Primarily, my art practice focuses on ideas evoked by littoral zones (geographical zones that extend from the high water mark to permanently submerged shorelines) and their relationship to the domestic. 

Growing up near mangroves and tidal plains, my work has become defined by these and similar geographies. Subsequently, I have focused on regions that have been pigeonholed as antitheses to 'exotic' landscapes.

My sites of research have included Moreton Bay (Queensland), The Mississippi River Delta (Louisiana) and the Tamar Valley (Launceston). And in 2012, I will be traveling to, Newfoundland (Canada).

Littoral zones allow me to explore the slippage between land and sea - being not wholly one or the other. This dualism has become the central theme of my art practice and allows me to investigate other fluctuating relationships; the exotic and the domestic / obligation and opportunity and so on.
