2025 Craft + Design Canberra Daily Creative Challenge Finalist 

Artist Statement | I am studying a Bachelor of Visual Arts at The School of Art and Design at ANU. This is my fourth time I have taken part in this creative challenge. This year, drawing on the challenge's theme "Rewild", I chose the covers of damaged books to act as the supports of my responses. I offered them another chance to interact with an audience; to reactivate their original function and also extend their manner of expression, including through textiles, painting, collage and drawing. This challenge nurtures experimentation, community, support and an exchange of ideas.
