Ridge St Window Gallery- 43 Ridge St, North Sydney

The work in this installation reconfigures found materials from our urban landscape and repurposes prints from my collection from over the past 30 years. Look and you might see recognisable materials from your everyday life that have been transformed into new creatures, objects and forms.

Using different art forms including collage, printmaking, digital print, ceramics, knitting and textiles combined with chattels from the everyday, these materials come together to create an artwork known as the ‘Wicked Garden’. Showing a flight of imagination it looks at ideas around our changing environment, friendships and adapting to new surroundings.
