I am an artist studying and practising on the unceded land of the Gadigal peoples. My Honours project, 'An absence, resounding, is a devotion to hauntings.' 

Developing both personal and impersonal archives of photographs and sound recordings, I then scrutinises their contents, transmuting their materiality via digital manipulations and printmaking processes: sound waves are metamorphosed into visualisations of light and shadow, the photograph stretched into multi-dimensional silk prints. In this tension between opacity and invisibility, I seek to confront the threshold between presence and absence. I asks, is there a materiality for the in-between; the elusive, the partial, the provisional? Does silence have a texture? What is the weight of a shadow? Does the spectre have a pulse?
