Wonderful to be back in the studio today reflecting on my time in Takayna with the @bobbrownfoundation #artfortakayna2026 such a privilege to share this time with 100 other amazing artists and the brilliant BBF team… they are putting themselves on the line each day to save this incredible 1000+ year old forest from logging and destruction. #ecoart #oldgrowthforests

My new exhibition of prints opens next week. "Our bodies are wild and shimmering" is an installation of prints which brings together two bodies of work that look at the spectral presence of queer longing in Western religious imagery.
