Welcome

I am a lens-based artist, filmmaker and arts worker living and working on Wurundjeri Country in Melbourne, Australia. My practice utilises visual media to explore stories of community and environment.


As Co-Creative Director of Photo Collective, I spend my days immersed in Australian photography with a strong focus on visual narrative. Alongside my colleagues, I manage the production of content, assist in award operation, and design and edit publications such as Photo Collective Magazine. As a filmmaker I produce campaigns and short documentaries for companies such as Nikon, Australian College of the Arts and Nature.


In 2021, I was the recipient of the inaugural OD Prize presented by Open Doors Gallery (UK) for the project Teetering like a September myth. The project was then exhibited in London that year as part of the winter program by Open Doors Gallery before being released as a monograph in 2022.


My moving image work Do Brumbies Dream in Red? produced in collaboration with visual artist Tom Goldner, follows the affect and aftermath of the 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires. The project was first exhibited as a large format two-channel projection at the Meat Market Stables (VIC) in 2021 and has since been screened at Maroondah City’s Artspace at Realm, as an inclusion in the Incinerator Art Prize at Incinerator Gallery and at Stray Voltage, Kings Artist Space as part of Heat Safe Cities supported by City of Melbourne.


In 2023 I co-founded MEL Photobook Fair and went on to co-curate the Photobook Weekend as part of the PHOTO 2024 International Festival of Photography in Melbourne. As of 2024, I am undertaking a Masters of Photography at RMIT University in Naarm/Melbourne.
