I was honoured to be selected as winner of the 58th Fisher’s Ghost Art Award and grateful that my work ‘Verge 3’ has found a permanent home at Campbelltown Arts Centre.
The exhibition is open until 11th December with lots more fantastic work to see. There is also a virtual tour online if you’re not in the area.

In ‘Verge 3’ I layered pencil drawing over monotype ghost prints to create a sense of depth and shifting perspective, thinking back to kayaking and walking around the edge of Lake Victoria on Gunaikurnai Country in Gippsland with Dad. We encountered dramatic shoreline erosion near our camp at Emu Bight - precarious, steep walls of sand and uprooted trees. There was beauty to be found in the complexity of the exposed root structures, but when I looked into the cause of the erosion, it was due to increased salt levels in the lake following the late 19thC artificial opening to the sea at Lakes Entrance - a reminder of consequences and interconnectedness.
