I am interested in the Soviet monuments of eastern Europe constructed in the 50's, 60, and 70's. I am drawn to their visual language and extract that to create my own sculptures. I am also informed by science-fiction and outer space. This enters my work to lend a futuristic element to my work. I use Corten steel sheets to construct my sculptures and through cutting and welding, I get voluminous shapes that piece together to form the sculpture.
I went to the ANU School of Art and graduated in 2014 with a bachelor of fine art in sculpture.
In 2019 I graduated from the National Art School with a Masters degree in Fine Art (Sculpture)
I grew up in Canberra and after living in Sydney for a number of years I have moved back to Canberra where my studio is located.
