I was born on Whadjuk Noongar boodja just east of Boorloo / Perth, Western Australia, and am now based in the Kulin Nation, near Narrm / Melbourne, Victoria. I am of settler-coloniser descent predominantly, mostly European as far as I can find - Irish, English, Jewish (Poland), Anglo-Burmese. I am grateful for my life and to call this place my home, and I offer my respects to First Nations Bunurong and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people here along with all their Elders and and kin. 
I am an artist, performer, musician, poet, herbalist, and ritualist, among plenty of other named and unnamed things.

My practice is rooted in singing, folk healing, and the fields of trans ecology and experimental archaeology. I am interested in listening and vocality as ways of relating with place and embodied knowledges. I create sculpture, sound, film and performance works that are process-based.

My practice includes producing and nurturing artists, arts festivals and events, as well as teaching and curation.
