A statement about the 'Dreaming of Travel': Since the pandemic, I've been dreaming incessantly about the places I've travelled to and lived, places that I'm still yearning to discover within Australia. This sculpture is an ode to those dreams and to the places and homes that occupy our being, the places that we carry through our veins and become 'us', even long after we've left them.
