Art Land Vol 1: Music | Performance | Visual Art | Words | Installation | Film | ++
A juicy assortment of sharings, showings and sets - from the unfolding, in-process, and vulnerably fresh, to the rediscovered, revised and reiterated. We're making a space for play, exploration and magic to emerge. Inspired by Art Party and Deja (scenes that came out of Sydney's inner west -- if you know, you know), we seek to start a monthly container in the Dandenong Ranges for juicy risk and delightful presence. Potential nudity, foul language, tears, rage, softness and irreverence all welcome.
//something I’m helping to create!
Snapshot from a research day trip in the Hunter for project TIMMY - we stopped in Wollombi, where Louisa had this geometric work installed as part of a regional sculpture trail (Sculpture in the Vineyards). 2025 exhibition announcement incoming 🐸

I’ll be knowledge sharing on how we’re neurobiologically wired for rhythmic movement in the Dragon Dreaming village zone ^,^
Photo by Lee Illfield of me in wearable crocheted stuctures composed by Louisa Magrics - part of the research fellowship that I am undertaking in collabs with Louisa this year. This is facilitated by choreographic centre Critical Path. Read my recent check-in on the process here.
Currently showing my Altar Cards as a seasonal wheel installation at very special artfae gallery, Leaf Studios. This collection of drawings (ink/digital fusion) are close to my heart, and this is the perfect way to release the end of a small print run out into my local community. Over the past couple of years, I have given most of the cards out to friends and family, or used (and eventually decomposed) them in my personal altar practice. The handful remaining are for sale at the exhibition.
Caption reads:
Each of these four cards is intended to invite musings on the spirallic passages of seasonality. In her own practice of creating art altars, the artist has found that the variety of ways to play with these cards is limited only by the user's imagination.
// Green Folk group exhibition is on until July 18.
TIMMY: Threads in Motion | Moving Yarns
@threads_in_motion — new insta acc documenting collabs with Dr Louisa Magrics, including our involvement in the Regional Action Research Group at Critical Path this year. So far, we’ve just been setting the scene to show you what’s cooking in our studios and lengthy convos about potential intersections of choreography and crochet.
My experimental work BIOME was performed in late Feb as part of the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale (also listed as part the National Sustainable Living Festival program). If you’re interested, you can read about this under the Projects menu tab, including full artistic and support credits.
Beautiful photo taken by Laki Sideris
Incoming as part of the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale — I’m developing a soil-celebrating live artwork with incredible artistic collaborators, who have signed on to activate it.

These only flower in midwinter, and some of them have green or black flowers.
In other news I’ve just found out they are in the same family as buttercups, which I have a weird relationship with as they’re highly effective boggy soil invaders around here, but I’ve come to respect them for their strategy (which includes having extremely charming flowers). The botanical family name is from ‘little frog’ in Latin.
