MY PRACTICE IS AN EXPLORATION
OF THE PROCESSES THAT UNDERPIN
SCIENTIFIC ACTION.
I am interested in how the core concepts of the ‘Scientific Method’ (namely observation, experimentation and standardisation) have come to operate as both scientific and cultural apparatus that shape the way we see the world around us.
Approaching experimental investigation as a way of thinking and a mode of working, my work aims to deconstruct the underlying processes of methodological labour – to explore the exhaustive, the obsessive, the poetic and the absurd inherent within scientific activity.
My recent projects have involved collaborations with scientists from a range of scientific institutions including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (USA).
My work has been exhibited throughout Australia and internationally, including exhibitions at the Museé des Arts et Métiers (France), Australian Consulate-General New York, RAPID PULSE International Performing Arts Festival (Chicago, USA), Open Source Gallery (NYC, USA) and Dominik Mersch Gallery (NSW, Australia).
I was awarded a PhD from the University of Sydney in 2021 and have received numerous prizes including ‘the churchie’ National Emerging Art Prize, the Moya Dyring Studio Scholarship (AGNSW), the Vida Lahey Memorial Travelling Scholarship (QAGOMA Foundation) and project funding from the Australia Council for the Arts.
My work has been featured in publications including Frieze Magazine, Forbes Magazine, Scientific American, Aesthetica Magazine and Artist Profile, and is included in the recent survey publication by Phaidon Press entitled Prime: Arts Next Generation that catalogues “100 of the most innovative and interesting contemporary artist…as chosen by the future leaders of the art world.”
