At his feet sits Cerberus, the three-headed beast known in mythology as the guardian of the underworld. Traditionally, Cerberus was a symbol of fear and death, preventing the dead from leaving the underworld. Here, Cerberus is reimagined as a faithful companion. Speaking to the irony of rebirth with his 3 heads fixed on the past, the present, and the future. Impossible to separate, no matter how fast we run from man’s best friend.
In overcoming the trials of our personal underworlds, we often find ourselves running away from the very chaos that forged our evolution, the very chaos that made this new version of ourselves possible in the first place, whether we were ready for the change or not. Yet, it is only by acknowledging and embracing these trials that we truly find freedom from them. And the private dock, connecting the safety of home with a wide open sea of possibility, serves as a metaphor for this liminal space of transformation. Of evolution through acceptance. Of finding wholeness in between. It is here, in this moment of quiet reflection, that we find the freedom to become our best selves. Leaving you to the quiet reflection of nothing much, just for a moment, while you wait to ride off anywhere but here…

History Remixing
We imagine history into existence every day, shaping the world around us as we go. I remake histories with every piece. From a motley crew of tales tall and true. A melange of myths, signs and symbols. Every one ripe for my kitsch confections, which could all be legends one day.
Every piece I create is true. Sourced from truth and grounded by it. But never real. Reality's a fiction we're all subscribed to, which doesn't make it any less true. And that's the thing about the truth. Or the past. It moves in both directions. Myriad, in fact. Never sitting still or doing as it's told. Forever questioned, dissected, reframed and upended. Queered and inverted. Packaged and performed. Told, retold, adapted then sold. Evolving, like everything else. Which is why I like to think my art exists outside of time. Reaching for infinity. Not reality. A kaleidoscope of mish-mashed truths, which are only as surreal as we choose to make them...
Eternally Hungry
Born in Sydney, I spent my childhood surrounded by artists, oddballs and academics. They taught me to question everything. Respectfully and without fear.
Their coffee table books inspired my love of art and design. Vigorous debates over citywide dinner tables made me realise how complex the world is. Tales of lives spent abroad inspired my wanderlust. Their most important lesson? The value of being eternally hungry—that you should always leave enough room to taste something you've never experienced before.
Twenty-two countries and four continents later, I can find home anywhere with WiFi and a hearty chunk of intrigue. It's because of them, and I'm forever grateful.
