Kia Ora, I’m nearlytuna.
I am an Otago, Aotearoa-based artist, originally from Kaurna Yerta, Adelaide, Australia. As a graduate of Flinders University, I completed my Bachelor of Creative Arts (Visual Arts) in an off campus setting, the Adelaide College of Arts (TAFE SA).
After graduation in 2022, I completed an Honours year, at Flinders University, where I explored the relationships between the concept of home and complex trauma through exegesis and a cumulative body of work created in response to intimate self-reflection, connection making and materials play.
