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 (Sculpture)

Clumsiness does not come in handy when trying to achieve minimalist forms, but nonetheless, boyish slips of the hand divert formalist legacies. Flirting with discipline, sophistication and play, my sculptures flash their imperfections, blushingly, but fondly, to reveal their own auto-erotic satisfaction. The discipline of fabrication has become exhausting. I am restless for horseplay.
