ART STORY
Portal explores the contrast between the refined exterior we present to the world and the less restrained self that exists beneath it. Soft layers of aqua, mint, lavender, blush and warm earthy tones create an almost delicate surface, while deeper fractured forms and darker marks emerge from within.
The circular composition becomes a small opening into something more unexpected, like a glimpse beyond the polished surface and into a self that does not need to follow the rules. A quiet tension between softness and edge gives the piece its sense of mystery and possibility.

RESTORED FRAME
Each frame is carefully restored in my Western Australian studio. Old nails and hardware are removed, the frame is cleaned and, where needed, lightly sanded and treated to care for the wood. New hanging hardware is fitted to ensure the finished piece is secure and ready to display. Original marks, imperfections and signs of age are retained where they form part of the frame’s character and history.
RECLAIMED STORY
This piece brings together two reclaimed materials with a new purpose. The artwork is created from rescued premium fabric, hand-dyed and transformed into textile art, then housed in a hand-selected frame that has been given a second life. By combining existing materials rather than producing new ones, each piece diverts usable resources from landfill while creating something entirely original. Due to the organic nature of ice-dyeing and the sourcing of quality reclaimed frames, these statement pieces are fundamentally unique and cannot be replicated. Each piece represents a unique expression of renewal and possibility.
This artwork is available for shipping.
