I'm an emerging artist who resides in Naarm/Melbourne, currently completing a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) (Honours) at RMIT. My site-specific installation practice uses the colour Yellow to translate my neurodiverse experience of everyday architectural spaces. By using a Yellow Cube as a self-portrait, liminal spaces in institutional buildings are explored through performance and mixed-media installations to portray a sensorial connection that is informed by the personality and materiality of that site - often overlooked, background spaces that have innate beauty and their own personal quirks if spent time with.
I resonate with these spaces and use Yellow as a methodology to create a physical representation of the beauty of the space ‘in-between’ and how I find connection. The Yellow Square has become my inclusion in these places, The painted Yellow and objects are developed by co-emergence with the spaces in an attempt to understand my neurodivergent way of being in the world and how I find comfort, belonging and connection in and to these spaces.
I have a background in working as a psychiatric nurse and have seen how art can help communicate, engage and encourage healing, social inclusion and expression.
Yellow Corridor is an ongoing project and is the title that is used to bring together my interaction explorations with the ‘in-between’ spaces where I sense belonging through mutual understanding.
I have been fortunate to further develop my practice by studying at Parsons School of Design in NYC in 2023.
