Selected as a finalist in the 2025 MAC yapang Art Prize. It is a biennial event in the Lake Macquarie region with ‘Nowhere to Hide’ – ”Within the cold, brittle surfaces of a mauve bathroom, a woman holds a baby to her. There is a smashed cup on the floor, a dripping tap, and a perfect face in the mirror. Perhaps it is her imaginary self or an AI Bot, an algorithm with no soul, empathy, hope, sense of loss, memory, touch or love – watching, listening, in judgement of her ambiguous predicament. In a world where we find ourselves holding it all together, juggling a job, responsible for domestic duties, caring for children and ageing parents and trying to keep our relationships intact, women often become disconnected from themselves and feel invisible.
