Her works typically incorporate a range of recycled natural and made materials in the creation of her own frames using materials like resin, pewter, aluminium, and moss.

In response to these paintings (including Heatsink II), The Physics Room curator Jane Wallace wrote, “the aqua oxidisation of a reaction on copper channels through the work… [it] hints at the diagrammatic, like patches of cool on a heat map, the slow-moving computer blue radar tracking a flight path, a meteorological forecast, the timing of the tides, vague murmurs of an ultrasound; at the edges, where the cast frame reveals electrical wires in the same blue housing, it’s a switchboard, a finely-tuned arrangement of information and pathways, connections that, at a glance, seem dense and out of reach, but on closer inspection, reveal the world as it is, just retold at a different frame rate, a new pace, a timescale with breathing room for interpretation, condensation and intuition–where a stream of water is slowed down enough that it might bead from a tap in droplets, as pearls, loose beads, half-marbles, able to separate and then, meld, with another.”Artwork CopyrightAll rights reservedArt CollectionLincoln University Art CollectionKeywordsAbstractSustainability | whanake taiao
