WAMA Art Prize

I’m thrilled to be selected as a finalist in the 2025 WAMA Art Prize, Australia’s leading award for environmental art.

This year’s exhibition brings together 54 artists working on and with paper in WAMA’s brand new National Centre for Environmental Art in Budja Budja/Halls Gap, Gariwerd/Grampians.

You can see my work ‘Tangle (Wana Karnu)’ on display from 6 Dec 2025 to 9 Mar 2026 — and cast your vote in the People’s Choice Award while you’re there!

Wana Karnu is both a place name and a geological group. ‘Tangle (Wana Karnu)’ suggests layers of time, through the gravelly deposits of an ancient river bed and the gradual intertwining of Mulga limbs and branches in Mutawintji National Park on Pantjikali, Wanyuparlku, Wilyakali and Malyangapa Country, NSW. Suspended in memory, complex networks of twigs signify growth and decay, while prompting consideration of human entanglements and interconnection with ecologies.

I love that WAMA is dedicated to providing opportunities to engage with nature and environmental art, showcasing and reflecting on artistic narratives concerning the natural world and our place within it.
