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 (Drawing & Printmaking)

I collect old devices with no real use anymore. I’m also interested in digital technology, loving and hating it for all it gives us. My practice focuses on post-capitalism, post humanist views of technology, the history of the internet, technological acceleration, home computing, and e-waste. Working primarily in printmaking, sound, and publishing I have developed a visual archive drawn from the history (and present) of surveillance camera footage, Linux, computer components, radio spectrograms, and broken devices to create screen prints, healthily seasoned with noise.
