INTROSPECTION

A collection created for Creative Melbourne's group exhibition

Introspection
Contemporary Group Exhibition, Creative Melbourne Gallery  19 Feb - 15 March 2025 
Dual Perception

“Dual Perception” is a wall-mounted concertina piece that shifts as the viewer moves. Made with reclaimed cabinet doors—complete with the original keyhole—the piece holds two images of a hydrangea: one in full bloom, the other dried and withered. As you pass by, fragmented sections align to reveal a complete image, reflecting how perspective can alter what we see. This interplay of movement and transformation speaks to the fluid nature of identity, the hidden layers of masking, and the ever-shifting ways we present ourselves to the world.

Veiled Effort

“Veiled Effort” is an interactive piece that explores the unseen labour behind masking. The vertical-blind-inspired mechanism is crafted from repurposed wood and brass fittings. It mirrors the inner workings of masking, constant adjustments, effort, and hidden complexity beneath a seemingly seamless presentation. The viewers interaction with the piece mirrors the experience of navigating social norms, revealing how identity can be carefully constructed yet always in motion.

Level Headed (SOLD)

“Level Headed” is a sculptural piece that reflects an unconventional thought process, where ideas don’t follow a linear path but instead swirl and twist like a tangled spiral. The piece features an old wooden spirit level, symbolising balance and normality, with a twisting sculpture made from strips of transparent photographs. It represents how my mind moves in unpredictable directions—an exhausting process, yet one that eventually finds its own order. The transparency of the photographs hints at the complexity of these thoughts, inviting viewers to consider the chaotic beauty of non-linear thinking.
