My creative practice takes place on the lands of the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri Woiwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present, their ancestors and families, acknowledging their deep and ongoing spiritual connection to Country. I extend my respects to Wathaurong Waddawurrung peoples, whose lands I was birthed and raised upon that have deeply shaped me and my experiences.

I acknowledge Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri custodianship of the lands, waterways and skies that I continue to live, work and benefit from, recognising that sovereignty was never ceded. I come with an intention to deepen my understanding of ancestral pathways as a diasporic being, while sharing, learning and creating on unceded lands (Melbourne, Australia).

I extend this acknowledgement and pay my respects to peer African and Indigenous peoples across the globe viewing this website.

38 Frames at 68 De Korte

TwilSharp Studios, Johannesburg

5 Feb - 22 Apr 2018

38 Frames at 68 De Korte is an exhibition presenting the culmination of creative responses during a three month studio residency at TwilSharp Studios in Johannesburg. Taking the form of installation, photography, video and performance the artist responds to framed publication covers found in 2016, abandoned within a pending demolition site, the former home of the South African Institute of Race Relations located within Auden House in Braamfontein.

For the artist these items have become vehicles for researching Auden House, its tenants, significance and neighbouring initiatives within Braamfontein at the time of Apartheid, while inserting her own narratives and dialogues that discuss South African identity politics, authorship, African diaspora, and her encounters with these items.
