About The Artwork

Shadow play Inkjet on canvas Ignoring the dangers of a looming sandstorm behind her in the isolated landscape of The Coorong, South Australia, a child plays in the salty white sand and becomes immersed in the fascinating shapes of her own shadow. The little girl has found an instant playmate and each time she moves her hand away the shadow follows, engaging in a game that reflects the scope of her imagination. She is yet to understand how the sun creates the shadows on the ground or the dangers of the environment around her. The innocence and pure enjoyment displayed within her are a wonderful sight to observe in contrast to the current chaos of a world fueled by adult hate, intolerance and greed. The child fully embraces the concept of play and the adaptation of Plato’s quote, “Life must be lived as play”.

I am an Australian-based photographic digital artist, who uses my work to respond to issues pertinent in the media, popular culture, and in the way we experience the world. Ironic, facetious, and sometimes confronting, these images can be appreciated both for their surface of playful exuberance, and for the sagacious social critique. Working mostly in series, I drew much of my inspiration from growing up in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne with themes that explored some of the conflicts, disappointments and inequalities lurking beneath the veneer of everyday life. My work has also investigated concepts relating to domesticity, gender roles, social rituals, home ownership, alientation in work, home and family enivronment and the frustations felt by individuals by the demands of contemporary living. My earliest influences include, Andy Warhol, Howard Arkley, David LaChapelle and Cindy Sherman.
