I am Darug man form the BoorooberongalÌýclan, an artist, and lecturer in the School of Art & Design at the University of New South Wales.ÌýWorking across a number of mediums including live and video-based performance and painting, my work is primarily autobiographical. An intention of my work is to consciously transform my personal dislocations into a visual strategy of self-disclosure. I become my own subject, often using my body as a site for art-making. I am stimulated by exploring the reality in and between what is often not permissible in public spaces and spheres. With a focused interest in the authenticity of suppressed emotions, I am wanting to navigate and respond to the consequences of placing the personal into the public. My practice-based research is informed by Foucaildian philosophical notions of the self, self-design, contemporary confessional discourse, private and private space and spheres, subjectivity, and settler-colonial theory.Ìý
