I hereby acknowledge that I work on what always was and always will be the land of the Boon wurrung/Bunurong people of the Kulin nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider community and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.

The body of work from my 1990 solo show at Linden Gallery entitled, 'Evolving' represented my personal and intense relationship with the self, following the sudden early death of my father and impending birth of my first child. While grieving the loss of a parent and adjusting to the imminent birth of my firstborn, I began to work with a more archetypal and symbolic approach to image-making. Water is represented as alive, turbulent and enveloping as I navigate this significant time.
The tree emerged in my work as an icon of life and death, a feminine symbol, with periods of creativity and dormancy. It represented my interior experience of transformative growth as the universal and human experience.
