What does it mean to be invisible in plain sight?

This photograph was exhibited accompanied by a sculptural representation of the headdress/scarf. The scarf featured hand beaded embellishment.

Created for ‘Camouflage’ - Troy Emery x Wunder Gym.

This mixed media work is a repurposing of many test images I’ve created over time, transformed into a work inspired by John Brack’s 1955 work, ‘Collins Street, 5pm’.

I feel Brack’s work - having been a city-based officer worker, joining the masses as we make a beeline from the office to some vehicle of public transport to take us back to the ‘burbs. How do we maintain our individuality? Or creativity?

Created for ‘Beg Borrow Steal’ - Jacqui Stockdale x Wunder Gym exhibition. This image was presented alongside a work entitled Nowhere (the Arrival). Together they speak to the experience of newly arriving in an unfamiliar place and how quickly we become part of the furniture.

This work takes a simple shape and repeats it over and over. It may appear to move if you look at it too long. Its colours are inspired by the Northern Lights, a phenomenon I’ve been fortunate enough to experience. On exhibition, the work was mounted with backlighting featuring complementary colours rotating around the edges of the image.

Created for ‘Motif, Repeat’ - Kate Rhode x Wunder Gym exhibition.

If success is defined as financial stability, influence and profile - as the Western world might have you believe - then you’re best off being a man named John (statistically speaking).

Based on a true story. The temper of a man is ‘passion’; the drive of a women is ‘emotional’.

These felt, fabric, thread works are based on American style pennants awarded to sports people/teams for achievement.
