"I have spent the majority of my life on a Cattle farm south of Perth. We should be more afraid of the sun than the moon is a series of drawings that fit within my broader investigations into familiar and domestic objects and what they tell us about our past, our present and our future. The works, including household hazards from poison to power cords highlight the proximity of danger present in everyday life, particularly those that underline parental worry. Drawing objects that cause me anxiety for what could harm my children, these oversized cut-outs in charcoal are placed on customised wallpaper representing a selection of my current works to date – populating the walls with a menagerie of animals that surround my children’s lives"
