EMBRACING UNRAVELLING 2024
Embracing Unravelling is an installation in temporal flux. A space that remembers the acts that created the divide between white men and everything “othered”—women, nature, ages, sexual preference, race. The specific focus is on my matrilineal lineage, and the traumas these women endured as a result of patriarchal capitalism that ensured not only the controlled domesticity of women but their silence. In light of this epistemic injustice, these women’s voices will be privileged
Unapologetic 2022, 2023
My inaugural cabaret. "Unapologetic" is a personal story about maternal lineage, epigenetics, and the impact of generational narratives on myself and my daughter. Unapologetic started as a whimsical look at my love of dance and the arts, that has evolved into an authentic expression of self. As I tell my stories I sit in my own vulnerability as I speak from the perspective of the youngest of 5 children in a working class family. Through cabaret I explore the impact of my mothers repressed memories of being in a concentration camp at 4 year old; a narrative that affected my entire childhood. This show would never have come about had I not been perimenopausal; invisible yet no longer ashamed of my traumatic past, I share these stories to heal myself, my mother, and my daughter and in the hope of taking a step towards making shifts in others. Unapologetic emphasises the profound connection between past and current patterns and carefully weaves into it how imperative it is to become your true self, and hence be unapologetic. Devised through a mentorship with Adelaide Fringe stalwarts Amelia Ryan and Michael Griffiths, Unapologetic is authentically raw, quirky, evocative, and totally relatable.

The threads of connection
Stay
Forever present
In our genes
Across space and time
What if connectivity was all around us, more than between you and I, but also between the moon and the stars, the trees and the sea; all living beings living in symbiosis with one another?
et your body feel it. Notice the symbiosis that we have with all living things. Trees, water, animals including ourselves and our ancestors who reside within our blood leaving echoes of the moments and their own living experience within us. This level of connectivity in us resides within us at all times.
Collaborative installation with Oriana Julie Winston at The Mill, Adelaide. May to June 2022.
