DAN - Acrylic on canvas. 42cm x 30cm. This is one of my more pop-art style pieces. I wanted to keep the colours basic and let the black do most of the talking.

THE CELESTIAL LOVERS - Acrylic on canvas, 40cm x 50cm.
The spirits of the celestial lovers come together to create a new life. While this new life is symbolised as a child in a womb, this could be any new life they wish to grow together that works for them both.

LIFE - Acrylic on canvas
Sometimes I like to just paint symbols from a blend of both Aboriginal and Indo-European culture. “Life” is a pictorial exploration of the journey we all take as individuals as we travel through life.

The Therapist - Acrylic on canvas
In order to help heal his patients, the therapist gives them pieces of himself so his patients can become whole again. But what happens when the therapist runs out of pieces to pass on? “The Therapist” explores the undiscussed long-term effect on clinicians.

TRUST ME... - Acrylic on canvas
Do we trust those in positions of social authority to easily? Believing that they know best and always have our best interests at the forefront? Is this conditioned trust dangerous? Do these figures of social authority necessarily deserve our blind trust?

JESUS OF SUBURBIA - Acrylic on canvas black light painting.
A stereotypical Millennial is sacrificed on a cross. "I.S.R.M" on the plaque stands for Iesus Suburbiae Rex Millennialium (Jesus of Suburbia, King of the Millennials). It's a commentary on how a generation has been sacrificed for society.

BIRTH OF THE UNIVERSE - 2021, Acrylic on canvas.
This is one of my very early works. It depicts the breath of Muspelheim, the land of fire, and the mists of Niflheim, the land of ice, violently reacting in Ginnungagap, the eternal abyss, to form the universe. Basically the Big Bang.

Cab Noc no:2 - Acrylic on canvas.
Cab Noc was an alternative nightclub in Melbourne in the vaults under Flinders St Station. It was a place where young libertines and vamps could explore the innermost of who they wanted to be. It was where we could be free. Where we could simply be who we were ❤️

Still an emo kid at heart. The mosh pit is my home. It's the only place I'm truly safe to be free. Just close my eyes and vibe to the band. The music and the vibe from the peeps is my drug ❤️

THE AUSTRALIAN - Acrylic on canvas (nose and lips are green 💚, damn scanner making them dark blue 🙄)When you see me; do you see a Northman or an aboriginal Australian? When you hear me speak; do you hear a countryman or a Saxon? When you find out I am part the other, does your perception change?
