'Drift' is a vibrant exploration of connection, community, and expression, inspired by the Murray River and its cultural significance on Wiradjuri land. Rather than seeing the River as a divide, the Wiradjuri People understand it as a life-giving thread that ties together land, flora, fauna, and community. Drawing from this, I approached the River with deep respect, recognising water as a fluid, nourishing force that allows everything around it to flourish.
Each of the five works in this series is connected by the flowing movement of water, flowing through them as a visual and conceptual link. My colourful, street art-inspired monsters embody emotion, eccentricity, and imagination. They interact with the water, clinging, merging, and growing from its flow. These creatures are not just characters; they’re expressive forms shaped by my inner world and emotional states during the creative process.
Drift is a celebration of expression, colour, shape, and raw emotion. A manifestation of my imagined reality brought to life. I invite others to witness, feel, and connect with the energy that flows through both the River and my work.
