QUT Art Museum

Becoming: Accumulated Gestures is visible 24/7 at the QUT Art Museum Window Box.

A luminous documentation of a sustained, meditative physical encounter with rain, wind and gesture, situated in the Botanical Gardens. The piece transforms within its environment —a mirror to its keeper. (May- July 2026)

A selection of my jewellery spanning twenty years is now installed and available to purchase at the QUT Art Museum and Old Government House. From silver through to natural and degradable materials. From anvil to 3D technologies. Each piece carries the trace of its making.

QUT Art Museum installation and contemporary jewellery exhibition in Botanical Gardens, Brisbane.
