In 2024 I completed an honours degree of Fine Arts at RMIT. I spent the year working on the project “Deleted Scenes from Forgotten Dreams: Don’t Forget to Remember Me”, which centres around themes of memory, the home and devotion to craft. It is a love letter to my memories and imagination. Utilising traditional gold and silversmithing techniques to create miniature spaces within a box or locket, I created a home for ones thoughts. A place to put ones love, ones secrets, and ones dreams in a box and give them a chance to live on in their own miniature space - held by the metal walls within. The series captures the essence of memory and how it can be obscured and changed over time. I also employed drawing practices to create a thematic representation of home and what home can feel like.
