2020 Art Gallery of Ballarat Commission
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, The Art Gallery of Ballarat paired me with visual artist Kim Anderson to produce a collaborative work for their Mutual Realities exhibition. Throughout 2020 I documented my city's experience of COVID through poetry and together with Kim we produced a work titled Languid to the Moon. Showing from the 13th Feb to the 18th April 2021 the exhibition included work from six other artists: Rhonda Baum, Skyscraper Stan, Sarah Barclay, Donna Blackall, Neville French and Dillon Naylor. Many thanks to the City of Ballarat for its support.

2018 Poetry Pocket Park
Thanks to the City of Ballarat my poetry was recently chosen to be published on four park benches in a newly created park on Little Bridge St. It's encouraging to see my city using poetry in such a public way. The park itself is a humble one, which suits these little poems perfectly. If you're ever in town come and take a seat for a while.
