"I am a pakana (Aboriginal man) from lutruwita (Tasmania), creating under my spirit guide name, kurina. A defining feature of my work is the intricate nature in which I do my fine dot work within my paintings, and the delicate pieces I create from fine metals like sterling silver, gold and copper. Every piece I create comes from my personal, and spiritual past, as well as from my country and culture. In 2023, I graduated from Griffith University’s, Queensland College of Arts, with a Doctor of Visual Arts (specialising in Jewellery and Small Objects).
My fear is that as our world succumbs to the realities of climate change, resource scarcity, elements of my pakana culture will be lost. In my contemporary jewellery (wearable art) and art practice, I am looking at ways to preserve elements of my palawa culture. I utilize contemporary methods combined with current technologies to create artworks that tell stories or point to some aspect of our ancient ways, pretty much all of my works contain some element of my culture."
