AGENTS OF PROXIMITY

Agents of Proximity is a local, artist-run travel service, based in the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick. It's an exploration of the ways in which the rituals and mindsets associated with travel can be applied to the spaces we inhabit, the streets we walk down daily, the places that we think we know. There are a myriad of different ways in which people experience the same neighbourhood, the same shared geographical space.

HITLERHOFF


David Hasselhoff and Adolf Hitler: together at last! In this jackboot-black comedy, the life stories of the Hoff and the Führer are fused together, creating a lovable Frankenstein's monster who is HUGE in Germany.

Have you ever pondered the connection between Pamela Anderson and international communism?

Ever asked yourself what KITT had to do with the invasion of Austria?

Ever considered the disturbing similarities between Hitler's Aryan fantasies and the blonde, blue-eyed dream-world of Baywatch? Now you can!

Hitlerhoff is a Molotov cocktail of pop-culture and propaganda, banality and evil. While its controversial subject matter will inevitably offend some people, Hitlerhoff's satire raises important questions – about the dangers of celebrity-worship, ambition, and blind faith.

HITLERHOFF HAS SHOWN AT MELBOURNE FRINGE (2008) AND ADELAIDE FRINGE (2009)

GREEN RE-MADE




This collection was made for the Sacred Heart Style Mission, where designers were asked to remake garments from items from the Sacred Heart Mission Op-shops, which were then auctioned.
Using 2 dresses, 1 jacket, and one skirt, I created a small collection consisting of a zip skirt, tuxe bolero, glider dress, two "summer dress" blouses and a flip-round skirt.
