We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which our campus is situated, the people of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung, who have created art, made music and told their stories here for thousands of generations. We also acknowledge and extend our respect to the Traditional Owners of all lands on which our work is viewed, shared and enjoyed, and to all Elders, past, present and emerging.

VCA Art 2025

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography)

I collect materials, often readymade and used or discarded objects whose functional quality has been depleted. Undergoing processes of manipulation and re-positioning, these uneasy objects take on new attitudes as they try to shed traces of past utility or symbolism. They can become vessels which reflect qualities back to us; humour, violence, beauty, ugliness, the uncanny.
