Joining the T-Projects Public Art Mentoring Seminar Program 2025

I am thrilled to share that I’ve been selected as one of a small cohort of artists nationally to participate in the 2025 T Projects Public Art Mentoring Seminar Series—a highly regarded professional development program for artists working in public space.

Led by curator and public art specialist Victoria Jones, founding director of T Projects, this program is focused on building the capacity of artists to develop sustainable careers in the public art sector. Over nine weeks, the seminar series offers practical insights into all aspects of public art delivery—commissioning, collaboration, fabrication, legal frameworks, and business strategy—while connecting artists with industry leaders across architecture, design, local government, and creative production.

As a sculptor working primarily with hand-carved stone and reclaimed timber, my practice is grounded in material sensitivity and a commitment to place. I create works that explore embodiment, memory, and endurance—often using locally sourced or repurposed materials from sites of historical or cultural significance. These tactile, slow-made sculptures are not only narrative in form, but also embedded with the physical histories of the landscapes they come from.

This opportunity comes at a pivotal point in my career. Participating in this program supports my long-term goal of creating public artworks that are materially rich, contextually grounded, and inclusive of the diverse communities and places they inhabit.

I look forward to sharing insights and reflections as the program unfolds.
