Curated by John Stafford, Onespace’s Director, The Secret Life of Objects showcased work which reveals my interest in the natural world, from the poignant to the surreal. It included textiles, photography, sculpture, drawings and collage.

The Secret Life of Objects comprised work from Re-collect, Grafton Regional Gallery (2022) and Re-present, Northern Rivers Community Gallery, Ballina (2024), along with work produced during my time in England (1999 – 2019). These included Abundance (2015), Bellicus Lepidoptera (2012), Birds of Bedford (2015), Coded Ornithology (2008), Entrap/Conceal (2011), Flutter (2018), Softkill (2013), and The Pigeon Archive (2009).
