Prayer For Land And Water | 2023-2025
$2,000
Animal populations continue to be devastated and sent into endangered status in Australia. We are the biggest land clearers and currently have the most endangered animals of all countries.
This sculpture, with its cyclic and animal symbols represents my prayer to protect and conserve what is left of natural landscapes into the future; native animals populations, oceans and seas.
My prayer comes from living with and protecting many animals, specifically the ancient forms of reptiles, fish, sea creatures and birds.

My intentional approach of over 38 years to Jewellery & Sculpture maintains my strong commitment to sustainability & ethical practice. My use of diverse materials, including found objects, recycled metals, vintage, antique parts, aligns with my commitment adding layers of meaning. Evoking nostalgia & prompting reflection on historical narratives & impacts of colonisation, societal & environmental values, I explore the narrative by committing ideas to collections. Profoundly effected by my experiences as a woman & on the land, I aim to inspire & engage in meaningful conversations toward kindness, connection & environmental consciousness via positive female symbology & feminist ideals.
