      Fade to Grey ©

      Fade to Grey is my tribute to Steve Strange who was one of the leading figures of the New Romantic movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s through his establishment of the Blitz Club in London in 1979. The New Romantics were characterised by individualism, creativity and rebellion. The New Romantics of all genders were identified by their use of heavy make-up, often dressing in androgynous clothing resulting in the creation of a ‘new wave’.

      The song ‘Fade to Grey’ was written in the Maggie Thatcher era and was part of the backlash against her and her conservative government, and the doom and gloom pervading the UK during this era. During this period, many New Romantic artists broke rules and pushed gender and social boundaries, with artists such as Boy George and Marilyn appearing on our screens. My video explores identity, conformity and the social constraints we place on ourselves.

      Commuter - Destination Unknown ©

      Set in Melbourne’s Southern Cross Train Station, the torment, drudgery and struggles of the workforce are captured through a contemporary dancer – the commuter whose destination is unknown, portraying these struggles amongst the backdrop of commuters on their way to work, sacrificing their days for the betterment of someone else.

      Press Repeat - Invisible Masks ©

      These masks represent the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Jesus and the faceless man. They symbolise the beliefs, traditions and power structures that impact our everyday lives. These characters represent the religions, political parties and businesses which seek to write the scripts for our lives by governing our thoughts and beliefs. ⁠⠀

    • Creative Practice

       

      I’m an emerging Melbourne based multidisciplinary artist, I’ve completed a Creative Arts (Honours) degree specialising in visual arts. I’ve exhibited in a number of galleries and also have been commissioned or involved in the creation of a number of art works for public art projects. My creative practice explores the concepts of self, identity and how we perform in our everyday lives. My practice is informed by my interest in what is our true self. Specifically, how do we adapt to the particular environment we find ourselves in, and seeking to explore how people’s behaviour adapts to these different environments.

       

      A number of my works have been created by undertaking performances in specific social spaces and places and drawing upon the surroundings, circumstances and location to inform the narrative I’m seeking to create. As part of my practice, I have placed performers in well-known public places and spaces, mainly within the Melbourne CBD, using this space as a stage.
