‘I am interested in looking critically at human relationships with nature and I identify myself amongst non-Indigenous Australian artists who feel an awkward sense of belonging here.

My concern about the environment forms the basis of my praxis and I consider environmental activism and community involvement to be intrinsically affiliated with my current creative process.’
