The work explores the invisible forces that shape our lives, from gravity and planetary movement to memory, intuition and inherited patterns of thought. Rather than separating the inner world from the outer, it suggests that consciousness emerges through a continual exchange between the personal and the collective, the conscious and subconscious, and the human body and the wider universe. Geometry, rope and figure become traces of these unseen relationships. Rather than locating the mind solely within the individual, the work imagines consciousness as something distributed across material, social and cosmic worlds—a field of relationships from which thought, perception and experience continually arise.

This project was assisted with an ArtStart Grant by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
