The COFA Annual 2013



Resume

I design out of a dissatisfaction with the way things are. I have developed a strong aesthetic as an example of how things could be, to ask: how do you wish things could be?
My works spans a variety of media, from knitwear, textile, graphic design, mixed media and performance art, illustration, zines and printmaking, all based around the concept of working towards a kinder world. I use art, craft and design to create informal platforms for participation and social exchange which might not otherwise occur.

I love learning, teaching and developing community and culture in contemporary Australia.
