SOUTHEASTERN
Metro Arts
Commissioned by Brisbane International Film Festival
Southeastern reimagines the classic image of a Queenslander, depicting five personalities from Brisbane who have gone through profound personal reinvention. From a bodybuilder transforming the flesh, to a former South Sudanese child soldier reclaiming his life as a man in a new country. The human body and spirit has the potential to go through enormous transformations.

OFF SEASON
Quality Gallery Melbourne
Off-Season offers a poignant exploration of a British seaside town during the winter season, where the vitality of summer has dissipated, leaving behind an atmosphere imbued with melancholy and spectral quietude. Through its observational lens, the projection renders the town as both a physical and metaphorical space in transition, where the rhythms of daily life for its remaining inhabitants echo the pervasive stillness of their surroundings.
The projection deftly examines the cultural and socio-economic erosion of modern day Britain, capturing the physical and symbolic decay of a once-thriving locus of national identity. It interrogates the tension between nostalgia and modernity, positioning the town as a microcosm of broader societal shifts. The imagery reveals a nation grappling with the aftershocks of its imperial past, now overshadowed by contemporary uncertainties and the hollowed-out promises of neoliberalism.
