I wish for all this and more."In 2006 I lit a small votive candle every night for 12 months. I began this practice out of respect and love for my grandmother wishing her better health. What soon evolved into a quiet, personal ritual led to a brilliant collection of melted candles.
Pandora's Box
Digital Model
The concept of keeping ‘hope’ in a box is a metaphor to which, I often refer when designing. In 2009 I began the practice of visualising a collection of hope boxes for a client who's wish was to produce one for each member of their family.

Lepidoptera
Titled after the insect species of moths and butterflies Lepidoptera draws on the anatomy of a butterfly’s wing to bring purpose to the formal equation of structure, colour and pattern.
A key feature of Lepidoptera is the use of textile remnants and R&D stillage from Australian automotive textile manufacturer Autofab. Lepidoptera shares linkages to the automotive interiors of Holden, Ford and Mitsubishi vehicles manufactured in Victoria over the past decade.
