About the work

The Dr Martens Store on King Street, Newtown - before a truck collided with its iconic awning. The building looming above - Shenkin Cafe - has been watching over Newtown since 1902. That’s around 45,000 sunsets.

About the artist

Working primarily in linocut, I create portraits of Sydney’s streetscapes. I capture the terraces, corner pubs and streets that carry collective histories.

Rather than aiming for perfect registration, I deliberately misalign the block between impressions. This process introduces slivers of light, colour echoes, and a subtle visual vibration. I aim to capture the place as a portrait - the version the building would proudly hang on its own walls.

Sydney based Linocut artist. Streetscapes and portraits of place. I use a shifting block method to create vibration, and layers of bold colour.
