The Windy Day
Shortlisted - Australian Photography Awards 2020 ×Wash Over You
Finalist - Australian Photography Awards 2021
I feel so incredibly grateful for this boy, for his life that saved mine. I made this image with him last week after having scans for the breast cancer I was diagnosed with shortly before he was born. My mother wasn’t around for this chapter of my life but if she had been there would have been moments when she said ‘Try to let it wash over you’ and this image has a little of her in it.
Celebrating eight years cancer-free, I’m so happy to be here in this crazy beautiful world.

Resolution
Finalist - Maggie Diaz Photography Prize for Women 2022
I’d not seen my mother-in-law since her Alzheimer's diagnosis, just before the lockdowns. I see a sound determination in her to get things sorted and a fragility that wasn’t there before - always searching for an answer, an item or just trying to remember what it was that she forgot.

Preparing for chemotherapy is brutal. The day I cut off my long, thick, youthful hair, I knew it would never return in the same way again. It was hard to say goodbye, but everything’s always measured against the alternative – dying - and it was easier than dying.

There are no thoughts.
Everything’s broken down into an endless array of unformed possibilities.

Unpacking the case of memories I've kept safely buried deep within my mind and delving into the times I've been broken, 'For Parts Not Working' explores and attempts to visually articulate trauma and PTSD. The series of constructed narratives is composed using a textile element to represent hospital vital signs monitor and mixed media photographic techniques.
Drawing from my personal health struggles and near-death experiences, this ongoing body of work is created as a tribute to my brain for the effective filing systems it has created to protect me from myself.
×My Internal Landscape
Shortlisted - The Australian Photography Awards 2023
Navigating my internal landscape is not always easy. I move at a glacial pace and often feel immobilised by feelings of overwhelm and self-doubt.
