Artist Residency 2018
The residency at Corin Cottage, Corin Dam, Namadgi National Park was arranged through Craft ACT for artists to explore the environment and respond to their surroundings. While there I was thinking about the physical form of the dam, the depth of the water and the way the natural environment had been transformed. I was drawing plants and rocks around the edge of the dam, thinking about how the deep water obliterated the plant life. On 2 days of heavy clouds and rain I worked with watercolour to capture the way the water was captured from the rain in the dam.

Graham Farquhar Tapestry commissioned for ANU University House 2018
The design for the tapestry was developed through visiting Professor Farquhar’s lab. at ANU, talking to him about his work and looking at his lectures and notes. The final images emphasises his work with plants and water showing the science though a diagram of photosynthesis, detail of plant monitoring in the lab and equations from notebooks. It also expresses the sense of the plant world and water as vital to our existence and the creative thinking that allows the the data to become meaningful and relevant to our future.
