Bio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am an emerging interdisciplinary artist based in Melbourne, Australia, who has exhibited and performed works in Australia and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working at the nexus of performance and installation, I draw on an extensive practice in sound, media art, and site-specific installation to create sculptural assemblages of programmed electronics; interrogating this mediating layer of technical objects between the self and the other. Through physicialising the ephemeral materialism of technology, I propose speculative ontologies about the relation of temporality and causation, considering the role narrative and existence of meaning in the posthuman epoch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work also questions how representation functions in the virtual through connecting performative feedback loops of cameras and screens, microphones and speakers. This is tempered through a synthesis of emerging technologies and classical forms, offering a reflexive consideration the role of art-making and the encounter in the production of new subjectivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have completed my Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Honours at RMIT University in 2021, and Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) in Sound at RMIT University in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My solo installation works have been presented at Pitch Music & Arts Festival (2017) and No Standing Festival (2017), and I have been commissioned to present a new installation work at Inner Varnika 2020 (delayed by COVID-19). I have also worked developing installations for Catalan dance choreographer Raquel Klein\u2019s project Wu Wei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a long commitment to art and sound culture, and have held senior positions at Advanced Music (Sonar Festival, Sonar+D) and others cultural companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
