Personal profile

Biography

I am a Dharug-Muringong custodian, early-career academic and an artist based in Gulamada, the Blue Mountains. My interdisciplinary research is rooted in a lifetime of innovative approaches, culminating in a Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Arts and Indigenous Studies. My research and teaching honour Ngurra Bayali - Country Speaking  deep philosophical languages of my homelands. This is the original archive experienced alongside an embodiment of archival records. For example, Gamarragu – Towards Dharug Intermediary Practices is the title of my MUFIR Fellowship to centre Dhalang, a deeply rooted language of the Dharug Ngurra and honour a legacy of  value-based relational knowledges and lesser-known Indigenous intermediary philosophy. As I walk alongside footsteps and voices of Indigenous truth-speakers, I am disseminating a family legacy including fostering a deep intercultural lens of connectedness through expressive art and writing practices.  In addition, Gulumun Echoes, exemplifies my innate approach to accumulating experiential research, leading to a muru – path of Indigenous Relationality in collaboration with the Centre for Global Indigenous Futures.
