Live artwork performed at Fridays Studio, West Perth
200 x 130cm
This is a progression of a work I have exhibited based on the French poem Afternoon of a Faun (1865, Stéphane Mallarme). I created and performed (live drawing) it at an event in front of a few hundred people. The theme is states of wakefulness. Inspiring many, Debussy composed the beautiful and haunting song Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Faun and Nijinsky’s 1912 Ballet Russes performance Afternoon of a Faun, is based on the poem. The mythological faun has woken from his afternoon sleep and discusses his encounter with several nymphs in a dreamlike, sensual monologue - moves back and forth between memories and fantasy, dreams and reality, disenchantment and intoxication.

Developed as a site-specific response to the unique identity of Byford, the artworks celebrate the area’s natural environment, local history and cultural stories. Together, the four sculptural panels and entry gate create a welcoming arrival experience that reflects the character of the community while contributing to a strong sense of place.
Artist Statement
“I’m deeply interested in projects that bring together art, design and storytelling. My creative practice is rooted in research—exploring local histories, landscapes and the unique character of a place—and translating these into meaningful visual experiences.
For Edenlife Byford, I wanted to create artwork that celebrates the stories already embedded within the landscape. By drawing inspiration from local flora and fauna, the area’s industrial heritage and its cultural significance, the four entrance panels work together as a unified collection that welcomes residents and visitors while fostering a sense of belonging.
Public art has the ability to transform everyday spaces into places of connection, curiosity and pride. My hope is that these works encourage people to look more closely at the environment around them and appreciate the rich history and natural beauty that makes Byford unique.”
Inspired by Byford
The four entrance panels and entry gate celebrate key elements that define the local identity of Byford, each interpreted through laser-cut Corten steel and integrated lighting.
Carnaby / Flight Patterns: Inspired by the intricate feather patterns of the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, this artwork abstracts the bird’s layered plumage into rhythmic forms that gradually reveal birds in flight. The panel celebrates one of the region’s most iconic native species and its strong connection to the local landscape.
Banksia/ Rainmaker: Beginning with a close study of a local Banksia flower, the design transforms its distinctive textures into flowing forms reminiscent of falling rain. The work references the Noongar story of the black cockatoo as a rain bird, connecting native flora with cultural storytelling.
Bricks / From Earth and Fire: This panel pays tribute to the historic Byford State Brickworks, whose locally produced bricks helped shape both Byford and Perth. The brick-inspired pattern and weathering steel reference the colours, textures and enduring legacy of one of the area’s most significant industries.
Marri (Corymbia calophylla): Inspired by the deeply fissured bark of the Marri tree, this artwork celebrates one of the region’s most important native species. The hand-drawn pattern reflects the tree’s rich organic texture while acknowledging its ecological importance for wildlife and its cultural significance for Noongar people.Marri (Corymbia calophylla): Inspired by the deeply fissured bark of the Marri tree, this artwork celebrates one of the region’s most important native species.

April 2015
250 metre mural concept.
The mural features the colours of kino (Marri sap), the Perth scarp dirt, laterite clay and other colours specific to the site.
The kino colour also reminded me of the hot firing of the clay to make bricks; the kilns; of the WA State Brickworks, Byford.
Featuring the Carnaby’s Cockatoo (Ganrloo) which are prominent to the area and their calls signify the coming of rain.
