Celestial Bodies screens at Melbourne’s Fed Square, Sept 3-5, 2023.
16mm film digitsed and writ large.


An immersive installation, Death Shroud for a Ship, will show at the Mission to Seafarer’s, Flinders St, Melbourne on August 5th. The installation creates a lost at sea feeling using fog, soundscapes, and a synaesthetic light, creating a low visibility and visceral emotive and immersive space. It is an attempt to finish building my grandfther’s abandoned ship after his death. Including death shrouds by Pia Interlandi. More here.
