Coraline – resin and blackened stainless steel – 2018
H23 x W30 x D14 cm
In Coraline, morphology pays homage to the convoluted and sublime constructs of the universe: the course of rivers and blood vessels, the architecture of plants and corals, and myriad other multiform biological structures. The work speaks of the convolutions of consciousness through the language of the corporeal.
I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which I live, work and make art. This is Stolen Country, the sovereignty of which was never ceded.
I pay my respects to Elders past present and emerging and stand in solidarity with all First Nation peoples, and recognise their continuing connection to Land, Waters and Culture.
Always was, always will be.
