I am an emerging visual artist based in Narmm/Melbourne. My practice explores the politics and metaphysics of the Australian landscape and the genre of landscape painting more broadly. Through large-scale oil on canvass works I aim to critique western epistemologies which uphold the binary distinctions of Cartesian dualism and position landscape as an object distinct from the viewer. Growing up in the Blue Mountains and later on the coast of New South Wales, my experience of the Australian landscape has led to a deep interest in exploring and challenging the genre of landscape painting which has historically privileged duality and mimeses.
