Basing this body of work on the concept of drawing with thread to manifest content,  I started in my contemporary application of the four hundred year old Punto Assisi tradition with an understanding of the rules and limitations I would adhere to, and those transgressions I would make to ensure the works were my own.

This work is now showing at the Post Office Gallery, Sturt Street, Ballarat as the culmination of a practice-led  Masters project at the School of Arts, Federation University. In 2017 was awarded an Australian Research Training Program Fee Offset Scholarship through Federation University Australia.
