Pixel Hanky 2

The Pixel Hankys are assembled using compact discs and DVDs rescued from landfill. By fragmenting the discs and meticulously assembling them into new forms, reminiscent of opulent fabric, I ask audiences to consider the transience of ‘value’ in a rapidly advancing world. The glittering interventions beg the questions, “What do we do with the leftovers of technological advancement? How do we reimagine the obsolete relics left to us by generations past?”

Muffy and Friends

Inspired by untold moments of female aggression, Muffy is an interactive and multimedia monstrosity that engages all 5 senses of her audience. She is dedicated to the stifled and subdued thoughts and feelings of frustrated women.

The hanging chandelier, with her obnoxious pink fur and gold chains, sublimates society’s contradictory, confusing and ever-changing expectations of how women should look, behave and speak.

From the outside, she appears ornamental, bold and majestic. A warbling soundscape radiates from her tiers. Familiar and nostalgic voices from popular culture coo melodic instructions on how to be a good woman, how to be popular, how to be happy. Hair brushes chained to the floor circling Muffy's edges invite audiences to groom her. The audience member connects with Muffy, performing one of the most intimate of human exchanges, and at the same time becomes complicit in her harassment. Does she not just want to be left alone?

Only once you come closer, and step inside Muffy's centre do you discover a secret world. Her unnerving breath reverberates around the claustrophobic chamber - revealing her repressed emotions. Muffy's lights, at each of her 8 candelabras, flicker in time with her laboured breath.

Muffy was designed and built with help from Andreas Lohmeyer, with sound design by Freudian Nip, and tech design by Caitlin Lomax.

Muffy was created for 'Untold 2018', a group exhibition of immersive installations created by 25 Australian and International artists, held in Melbourne's iconic Nylex Building. Proceeds from artwork, print and ticket sales go to the Reach Foundation.
