For 11 years, I have forged a distinct visual language on copper. My proprietary methodology – from bespoke surface preparation to hand-grinding pigments – catalyses a mutual reaction between metal and oil. In Cornucopia, this technique manifests as an allegorical landscape referencing the Unicorn Tapestries, a series of late Gothic works woven around 1500. As a granddaughter of migrants, I explore the complexity of claiming a relationship to the Australian landscape – the Cammeraygal land of Gooweebahree/Lavender Bay. Building this dreamt environment from my childhood imagination, I reclaim a sense of place through a technical process that is uniquely my own.
