First performed at the 2023 National Young Writers' Festival.
Winner of the 68th Blake Poetry Prize.

8 chaînés (2020)
Piano [intermedia]
As featured in 'Impromptu', 8 chaînés is a serialist piece featuring non-linear, improvisatory growth. Its performance involves flipping and rotating a double-sided square score. Each section between the eight page-turns differs in character and presents a new derivation of the original twelve-tone row. A retrograded row is introduced at each flip, a transposed row at each 90-degree turn, and an inverted row at each 180-degree turn. These motions create a three-dimensional audiovisual space, encouraging the multi-sensory appreciation of an avant-garde compositional style by ‘seeing’ it in action. Score available here.
Artworks
In a drop of water... (2024)
Acrylic and recycled glitter glue on reclaimed rosewood plate
In today’s world, plastic saturates every aspect of our lives. Our rampant production and consumption of plastic goods, coupled with inadequate waste management, have led to the pervasion of microplastics in our environment. The contamination of water sources with these tiny plastic particles poses a growing threat, with potential repercussions for both human and ecological health.
However, amidst this challenge, certain bacteria and fungi have demonstrated their ability to break down plastics, presenting a promising solution to reducing microplastic contamination. Inspired by micrographs of these plastic-degrading microbes, this vibrant and whimsical artwork celebrates nature’s resilience and ingenuity. Best appreciated atop a plinth, it invites viewers to peer down as if through a microscope, offering a fresh and hopeful perspective of our relationship with plastic consumption and the natural world.
Winner of the Youth Award (18-25 years), Remagine Art Prize 2024.
Exhibited at Wallarobba Arts and Cultural Centre, Hornsby.
