ARTIST NOTES: 1994 - This is a story of when I was a teenager and it was a cold dark day, not cold in weather but a cold dark day and I had to go and see someone. Mum was making me go see them and well it wasn't an easy day but I had a lot of support. She was looking for paperwork as I stood there in a silent world. Being Deaf and in a dark room with only the hallway light for a bit of light with no sound was heart rending. This story won first prize in the Innovation Games with Australia Arts Council recently.

ARTIST BIO

I am a Deaf artist born in and living in Melbourne, Victoria and working with watercolour, acrylic, gouache and mixed media. I have been practicing arts for 15 years and exhibiting for the last decade and recently as an international artist in Europe. I exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2015 and had two solo exhibitions in Paris and Bath, UK in late 2016 and in Berlin and Rome in 2017. I explore complex issues that give me the opportunity to experiment through art-based work and break open any oppressions or deep weird thoughts inside my head right onto 'canvas'. I also create contemporary works such as contemporary landscapes, abstracts and imagery that is from inner.
