I produce small and intimate works in tandem with large-scale multi-screen moving image installations across audiovisual mediums, painting, collage and drawing. A large part of my practice involves collecting items from the past, from a bygone era. I trawl formed collections, archives and the internet for materials that often become a canvas for the work – magazines, postcards, celluloid film and memorabilia. Across these items I am interested in exploring the inherent histories embedded within the item and consider an alternate direction for the item to continue to exist in.

Rock scissors paper is a video work that is focused on the objects held by the Kandos Museum, examining its breath, oddities and ties to the Kandos community and beyond. Using film and its material properties, the work is interwoven with archival footage sourced from archives to create an experimental moving image portrait of collective memories.
