Between The Silence and the Heartbeat (ii)Bronze and reclaimed wood, life size, 2021-23. “Between The Silence and the Heartbeat is about indifference to Indigenous deaths within “white” Australia; whether it is in police custody, suicide, the gap in health care or being deliberately targeted. The senseless deaths must stop. Indigenous Australians have been here for over 60,000 years. The heartbeat of the People is the heartbeat of Country. It is time for the silence about these deaths to end; it is time for us all to take a stand.” | Between The Silence and the Heartbeat (ii)Bronze and reclaimed wood, life size, 2021-23. “Between The Silence and the Heartbeat is about indifference to Indigenous deaths within “white” Australia; whether it is in police custody, suicide, the gap in health care or being deliberately targeted.

“Old Man Rakali”, bronze and redgum timber, 100 x 200 x 135cm, 2023. Adam and River st Hindmarsh SA“Old Man Rakali”, just a little native water rat, ambling along the river.

Mankamankarana- Seven Sisters, with collaboration and support from Carly Dodd, 2022.In-situ at Ovingham, SA. A group of seven girls were digging and collecting grubs, yams, and fruits upon the Womma (Celestial Plains). Many stories upon the Womma talk about how we care for our brothers and sisters, animals and plants, how we are all connected to the spirit world and all things. The sculpture portrays one of the sisters with a coolamon where she will place the gathered food. Her sisters surround her as the stars of the Pleiades Constellation. | Mankamankarana- Seven Sisters, with collaboration and support from Carly Dodd, 2022.The sculpture portrays one of the sisters with a coolamon where she will place the gathered food.

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. |
