VISUAL ARTIST
A multidisciplinary visual artist reflecting matrifocal ancestry lines, identity, country, trauma patterns and systemic racism. Vividly textured artworks are developed by fusing symbolic gestures, typography and primal markings to create the notion of palimpsest; representing embedded and complex layers of the traumatic history of ongoing invasion, colonial violence, occupation, assimilation and genocide.
