I was lucky enough to produce some projections for the Melbourne University Shakespeare Company during their ‘Shake It Up’ end of semester performances. I worked with my friends and colleagues Hanna O’Keefe and Amy Spurgeon on their reimagining of Romeo and Juliet; a hyperrealistic take on the young couple’s wedding night titled Sit On My Face. I provided minimalistic looped videos to be projected on a large scale over the performance. These consisted of rosary beads, bloody tears, virgin marys and plenty of body parts.

Photography 101 Final – everything must go
This is my final photoseries submission for RMIT’s Photography 101 course. This series explores the gentrification of the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne.
Times are changing in Northcote, Thornbury and Preston. The community is reinvigorated with an influx of young creatives opening businesses and profiting off the affordable rental prices in the area. Students, artists, musicians and young entrepreneurs contribute to the rapidly changing neighbourhood, known previously for its elderly Greek and multicultural residents.
Though the suburb receives a much needed facelift, there seems to be a divide between the young and the old. Businesses have foreclosed as the rental price skyrockets to make room for units, boutiques and cafes. This piece aims to explore this changing landscape, a locality spattered with fading businesses advertising the phrase; everything must go.
