Frankston Regional Arts Trail - Frankston Pier Public Art project
Inspired by migratory birds and the movement between land, water and sky, Flyway reflects on journeys, connection and the changing coastal landscape.
The sculptural forms trace a sense of movement along the pier—sometimes gathering, sometimes departing, always connected to a much larger journey.

Kaimkillenbun Public Art Project, Cumkillenbar ANZAC Memorial Park, Queensland, 2026
This sculpture grows from the character of Kaimkillenbun and the histories held in its landscape. The form is shaped by the poppy flower, linking the town's ANZAC legacy to the wider stories of service and remembrance.
The Cor-Ten steel develops a living patina painted by time and environmental conditions, embodying the legacy and endurance of the community. At its centre, botanical details invite closer observation. Silhouettes of petals, pistils, leaves, and branching connectors emerge in
layers, asserting their place within Country and the long histories of care and cultivation. There is deep knowledge of shifting seasons, of flood, fire and drought, held within the fine outlines of these species. The reflective stainless-steel hemisphere brings small vignettes of big skies and surrounding landscapes into view, gently acknowledging the reported Barunggam origins of the name Kaimkillenbun in the phrase 'cayum-killen-baa', understood to mean where the head (top) of the moon rises.
A long, stem-like seat extends from the poppy flower. It mimics the contour of the nearby Bunya Mountains. The lettering, Kaimkillenbun, stretches across its gentle curves, inviting you to pause, reflect and play.

The Great Victorian Rail Trail Art Installations Project
Traces explores the forms of native plants, flora, and the environmental impact on this land. Inspired by the impression of natural elements and local plants, the work responds to the simple, organic shape of a seed as the key, to reveal the idea of growing and transition. The multiple forms and meanings of plants are essential in the work, which reflects the precious source of life-cycle in nature, as well as transformation through time and season.
