2020, 594 x 841mm, pen on paper

Whilst we witness the resilience of the Australian landscape, and the regeneration of fire-torn bushes that once stood in ash, we must never forget the 3 billion lives that were lost during the 2019-2020 bush fires.

As Australia’s most iconic marsupial locks eyes with its on-looker, and the other mammals and reptiles observe behind eucalyptus foliage, I hope that this piece ignites a sense of recognition towards the beauty, fragility, and uniqueness of our countries flora and fauna; and ultimately make them question how they can save them from extinction as a result of climate change and other man-made disasters.

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one” - John Lennon

My body of art work depicts our commonality to dream and fantasise no matter what religion, age, gender, culture and nationality we are. Our context determines the substance of our dreams. Whether we are dealing with the stress of modern city life, fighting for gender equality and education, hoping for a clean, sustainable future, reconnecting with out culture and ancestral roots, or striving to be closer to God and the universe, these are all dreams that instigate a better future for ourselves and others.
