Graduate Certificate of Visual Art

Quantum superposition. Particles in all possible states at once. Until it is observed – decoherence. What are the effects of presence? How can we imagine a world beyond our influence?
Inspired by a vast array of subject matter – from complex scientific paradoxes to music, pop culture, social science and technological advancements – I seek to reveal how the human experience is reflected and exposed in infinite ways. Through the lens of science, technology and philosophy, I explore the tension, humour and compelling forces that exist all around us.
The outcome of these explorations manifests in many forms and mediums – spanning painting, sculpture and digital works. My curiosity, coupled with a passion for learning and experimentation with new materials, forms a central part of my practice and is integral to all my work.
