Artwork notes

Read the constructed figure critically, including the colonial museum imagery it reuses.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Scissors, paste and printed photographs are central tools.

Marks and structure

Deliberate mismatches expose how an image has been assembled.

Palette and light

Differences in scale, skin tone and printed texture can be more pointed than a harmonious palette.
