Her practice explores human relations to the more-than-human world using traditional photographic practices in non-traditional ways.
ETHICAL STATEMENT
I acknowledge my position as a settler on stolen Bunurong land in my daily life and art practice. This land has been a place of art making, ceremony, learning, design, politics, wisdom and care for 85,000 years before my existence and will continue to be long after I am gone. I believe I have a duty to show love and care to the country on which I am situated and use my position as a photographer to pay it reverence. The process I use to make photos is slow and deliberate. All images made of the more than human world are done with respect and care. I do not trod on areas where no paths have been made and all animals are free to come and go willingly from the frame of my camera. I never photograph with a long lens, the animals in the photos I make have chosen to allow me to be close and I endeavour to listen to animals however they wish to tell me if they do not want to be photographed. I will never photograph an animal in distress. Images of animals deceased are made to honour their lives and allow me to reconcile my own grief for their deaths.

Never it was
Made over many years, in many locations, this work serves as an exploration of quiet moments as meditation on the beauty of melancholy.
