'My work examines the traces of early colonial history in the identity of the artist and the impact of that history as it unfolds today.

My family history in Australia goes back to the early 1800’s. Originally from Scotland and Ireland, my ancestors were early colonisers. In 1983 I met and later married Indigenous artist and activist the late Les Griggs.

Les was one of the Stolen Generation, a government policy of forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families that was conducted until the early 1970’s. Through my relationship with him, I began to understand the full impact of colonisation in Australia. My recent work explores this as well as common issues related to colonisation across the globe’
