Where bushland and creativity meet
My Dereel studio is situated on 15 acres of sclerophyll bushland. The studio itself is relatively new, but I’ve been inspired by the flora and fauna here for the past 11 years. Poetry, photography, floral surface designs, abstract landscapes – they all come from this land.

2019 Explorations 2: Eco-Dying
Eco-dying avoids using chemicals as a mordant. In place of this, the fabric and paper are wrapped around items made from iron, copper or aluminium to fix the dye to the fabric through boiling them together for a couple of hours. The results are just stunning! Read more

The Shifting Shadow
A shadow is misshapen reality. Elongated or shortened by the angle of the sun, familiar objects appear distorted, muted, hidden. As the sun shifts, so does the shadow, and we see the world anew.
