PhD Candidate, University of Tasmania I am an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in nipaluna/Hobart. My process and research-driven practice considers the phenomenological and relational body; incorporating performance, installation, and sound, each work begins with embodied processes of gestural and lived investigation. I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours (1st Class) at the University of Tasmania in 2021, where I received a University Medal. I am now undertaking doctorate research, drawing on hydrofeminist theory to generate modes of performing and scoring encounters with more-than-human bodies of water. Outside of my own practice, I have been an active board member of Constance Artist Run Initatiative (ARI) since 2020, through which I have facilitated and curated multiple exhibitions and arts projects.
