A simple patchwork quilt constructed from plain fabrics. #simple #patchwork #quilt #plainfabrics #malequilter #australia #quiltsky

In 2010 I created a work, Princess, inspired by Tasmania's first princess, Princess Melikoff, 1893-1988. A wealthy heiress, Pauline Curran, who became a princess through marriage to a poor but titled Russian prince. Our second princess was of course Princess Mary, now Queen Mary of Denmark.

In 2012 I did a project, the Family project, with hospice volunteers who wanted to use performance as a medium to engage the broader community in a conversation about death. #hospicevolunteers #conversation #performanceproject #lifeanddeath #family

From late 2022 to mid 2023 I read oracle cards created by the artist Tomas Saraceno in his exhibition Oceans of Air at Mona. Tomas created the cards based on his research into spider divination across cultures and time. I think often of this experience as I learnt so much about myself and others.

This is where it all began for me. Kindergarten. 1965 or 1966?
