The Shimmering Edge

‘Between the known and the unknown is the shimmering edge where we linger, a place of questions more alive than answers’ Rebecca Solnit.

This body of work explores the littoral zone where land meets water. More specifically it is based on my fragmented photos and memories of walking through Baigup Wetlands on the Derbarl Yerrigan / Swan River floodplain. This is a chaotic landscape of mutable shadow and light  – a landscape that provides not only a place of retreat but also of reflection on struggle and hope; beauty and decay.

West End Art Space 11 April - 2 May 2026

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land where I work and live, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation, and pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. I celebrate the continuing culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of all communities who also work and live on this land.
