Male sampler 2019 artist hanging book, using metal advertisement printing blocks, hand printed onto Japanese's paper The age of advertising, metal plates were produced to advertise a brand or type of clothing, especially made to sit with text type in newspaper advertisement. Replaced with polymer plates these hot metal plates are a reflection of a past printing making method. Now discarded, I find these objects fascinating and collect then at every opportunity. Reinventing and using them in a different manner as in the ‘male sampler’ hand printed onto Japanese paper, is intended to pay homage to the printmaking industry, past and present.

North by Northwest 2019 North by Northwest On the threshold of change, recent environmental concerns about new and existing coal and natural gas extractions within Australia have resulted in mass protests; new generations of young people are voicing their concerns loud and clear. North by Northwest, is a series of work based on my time working as an artist in residence at a remote gas plan. I was free to explore the landscape in and around the plant; my main interest was in the visual contamination of the surrounding landscape and the storage of artefacts that where to be returned to the location they were found, when the plant was decommissioned. Stored in plastic bags on wood pallets, these items remained long after the plant closed.
