 Mankamankarana- Seven Sisters, with collaboration and support from Carly Dodd, 2022.In-situ at Ovingham, SA.

 The Cleansing.... It dissolves sorrow into relief and promotes the realization of dreams. Slate is seen as a balancing and healing stone, created as it is by heat, pressure and water (Fire, Earth and Water). It is a representation of harmony and grounding. The Cleansing is a representation of the healing power of fire and its place within the larger environment and landscape. |  The Cleansing (detail)2018, carved and burnt logs, bronze, slate and steel.

 Whitewashing History (detail) 2016Whitewashing History is a representation of colonization in reflection to the First Peoples and Country. Indigenous people worldwide have been exploited and oppressed by colonising nations and the resulting societies that formed and grew on the lands that once sustained them. Their stories are rarely heard nor their loss acknowledged. The cleansed and sanitised versions taught in schools and presented as history is seldom truth or fact for many. |  Whitewashing History, 2016Winner of the Palmer Sculpture Prize, Palmer Sculpture Biennial 2016. dimensions variable; individual figures approx. 180 x 40 x 22cm, reclaimed wood, tar, whitewash (hydrated lime, salt and water) and steel. |  Whitewashing History, 2016Winner of the Palmer Sculpture Prize, Palmer Sculpture Biennial 2016. dimensions variable; individual figures approx. 180 x 40 x 22cm, reclaimed wood, tar, whitewash (hydrated lime, salt and water) and steel. |
