Artist statement

This work is emotive and haunting, with its ghost-like visuals. There was no wind when I worked at this location on the lands of the Boonwurrung. It was a cold, still, wintry morning. I was alone.

My practice work is slow. Its intention is to lure the viewer into a lost time, where silence is broken only by the gentle lapping of a wave against the sand.
