I’m an Australian artist living in Amsterdam. I like painting and drawing, and sometimes I do that, but often I’m looking for a way to disturb what has become too comfortable for me in making art, particularly painting. So far, this has led me to work in installation, sculpture, video, sound and sometimes short texts. I collect pieces of material and objects if I think they might come in handy, but I don’t like to push them too far. I prefer the early stages of making stuff. Those moments seem to be the most stupid, fun, lively and surprising, so I try to preserve that in the final piece. I started working like this while I was studying an MFA in painting in the Netherlands when I noticed that the mess accumulating in the cabinets of my studio was more interesting than the paintings I had hanging on the wall.
