My aim is to explore the tensions that arise when domestic and wild animal and human communities cohabit a terrain – specifically within the south-east Australian landscape and psyche. The wild dog / dingo issue is a highly complex and emotive one – my work seeks to explore these issues on physical and sub-conscious levels.
