These works define the striking effect I try deliver to the audience. A powerful, ominous and dominating Presence in the room with you watching your every move.

My favourite story from my experience exhibiting these works at NGV Australia was that in the holding room, Presence (Standing) (Left), needed to be laid on the floor as it would give the staff a fright every time they entered the room and turned the lights on in the morning. That story filled me with so much joy because I new my work was truly delivering a strong emotion in the viewer, as it was intended to.
