Artist Statement
Hidden within painterly gestures and kaleidoscopic folds are allegorical references to my lived experience with complex mental illness. My works play with illusion and perceptions trickery. A play on space, surface, sound, and light to mobilise the scaffolding that supports our sense of reality. The works act as simulations of my experiences, attempting to enter the physicality of one’s affective state. Inviting the viewer to engage both physically and emotionally. Their bodies, not passive observers, but active participants. Contributing to the evolving simulacra of the work’s subject.

Continue readingHarvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
