Celestial Tapestry centres the rich connection between physical and spiritual healing, drawing on botanical symbols and mythology.

Taking inspiration from market gardens and communal courtyards – offering both sustenance and belonging - this new body of work interweaves traditional and contemporary practices to establish a dialogue on ‘third culture’ identity shaped by resilience, memory, labour and care.

Special thanks to Dylan Batty, Kazu Noguchi Quill, Kyna Lin, Claire Cao, Huy Ngyuyen, Fairfeild City Archive, State Library of NSW, Lyn from Jerkyhouse Cabramatta, Fenech Family Farm, Sun’s Fresh Farm, and the many Asian grocers, each aisle a quiet reminder of home.
