'dark oxygen' sculpture (2025)

The cyanotic blue, crystallised lung sculpture is the physical of respiratory distress and embodies the the threat of mining our deep sea floors, for the nodules that produce out life sustaining oxygen without sunlight, and the consequential noxious impacts.

'bittersweet building blocks' collection (2024)

‘Bittersweet building blocks’ honours a bond to place, person and time, forged through the potent emotions evoked in tender moments. Snapshots captured in imagery and verse are viewed at a slight distance, through a veil of affection and acrylic. Odes to transformation, awe, touch and unity; whisk viewers into the cozy confines of reminiscence. This work considers one’s identity a home, with foundations built from nostalgic bricks. The yearning to revisit an imprinted memory, indulged through the seductive comfort, wistful nature and intimacy of each piece.

DELIVERENCE 

Photograph of Art piece featuring: pale pink adult hands cupping neon pink child hands holding a white feather against a grey textured backdrop. Poem: thrust from the idyllic womb amidst the bloody trenches of primal instinct I caught you slippery and tender cradling a glimpse of familial beginnings in pain cycles we ride through bleary eyes amniotic sacs flow a bubble is burst awaiting first cxy tender throats exposed we breathe together pants and sighs you emerge as a family through unspoken oath vowed vetween breaths held time stands still for those on the inside privileged to witness the birth of a child beside your bedside intimate moments we pry my face soon forgotten: yours e never will.

COLLECTIVE HUSH 

Purple image of concert stage with many lights of a stadium audience. Poem reads: collective hush an effortless effervescence the contagious unison-ie chant free speech melodie gasp Lyrics that catch in the throat steel breath slacken jaws a first guitar strum from my song vibrations plucking spines widened eyes we gather in devotion I dissolve into fibres the self detached slipping into gaps lingering in the mincrof a child-losing the narrative of me the story of you generosity uncovered by another whispering obscurities into a ballooning mind that expands to accomodate the new goosebumps coating arms a vastness glimpsed never quite understood.

THESE HANDS 

Ombre blue/green hand prints on black photograph with poem reading: These hands, gripped by the lingering gaps within the distorted accordion of memory; incomplete, sacred. These hands, manipulate the cotton blues binding rigid loss with mailable twine; recycling or just cyeling. These hands, archiving moments in minds commemorating life, like it could be contained by a neat bow; just this once. These hands, the same yours held, yearning to stitch together the fabric of time, to interlace us once more.

WINNER OF THE 2024 VICTORIAN PARLIAMENT STATE OF THE FUTURE YOUTH COMPETITION

'The Butterfly Effect of Inclusion' stems from a a future envisioned, in which our individual choices, no matter how small, echo. Where positive influence ripples, like the wings of a butterfly through the atmosphere, eroding division, carving a path for universal access and inclusion. Where we see non-linear, cascading effects on entrenched complex systems. A time in which we are aware of our light, our expanding impact; amplified through voicing, combining and valuing one another’s lived experience. A cohesive world, in which we collectively call in rather than call out, acknowledge our interconnectivity and are conscious that one moment of connection can transform a life. 

'Where the light entered' collection (2024)

‘Where the Light Entered’ was born from Tayla’s complex relationship with reminiscing, as someone with a progressive neuromuscular condition and her close affinity with poet Rumi’s infamous words ‘the wound is the place where the light enters’. The collection explores the distortion of time and meaning, through the lens of fragmented memory, inviting the viewer to ponder a reality for many who have navigated life in ‘survival mode’. Each photograph delves into a delicate, amnesiac recollection of pain and healing, highlighted in the pops of colour, representing; the vivid emotions, details and wounds, that pierce through the fog of faint recall. Guided by the voice within the accompanying fractured poetic captions and complete poem, ‘Remembrall’ challenges viewers to question the unreliable narrator that we call memory. Each piece mirroring how flashbacks may present themselves to us, fully formed, detailed and sticky or illusive, hazy and out of focus. All equally valid and formative, shaping our sense of self. Posing the question; who might we be without these?
