Tyche: My photograhpic work in Frameworks
Featured works outside Manly Gallery
In 2009, Vicki Van Hout invited me to collaborate with her as the New Media Artist for her dance work in development, Briwyant. Following a successful creative development with Performance Space in '09, Van Hout was invited to present Briwyant as part of the 2011 Performance Space season, Uneasy Futures.
The multimedia in Briwyant is triggered by movement or voice. In sections dotted throughout the work, performers use their physicality to paint the evolving scene with multimedia. Isadora, the graphic program I use in my work, was specifically designed by Mark Coniglio to provide a malleable creative platform for artists. Isadora empowers performers by offering a tangible bond to projected images or electronic media, which in Briwyant, signifies our connection to the dreaming, to the everywhen, to the shimmer on the canvas on the stage.
As a core member of youMove Company, it was with great excitement that we began a creative development directed and conceived by Kay Armstrong.
Based upon the history of the Parramatta Female Factory, it took me by surprise how little I knew about the convict women of Australia and how they have somehow become just another part of this country's forgotten and often hidden past.
Follow our creative process through the project blog, as we discover who these women were and how we could connect to their story.

As a resident artist at Eramboo Artist Environment, it was exciting to be invited to present a work as part of FRAMEWORKS, a public art project located on the exterior of Manly Art Gallery and Museum as well as in Market Place near the Library. The various disciplines exhibited include sculpture, works on paper, painting, photography and performance and represents works completed and expressing the Eramboo community and bush environment.
The exhibition opened on Friday 6th September 2011, and will remain for the following six months.
