Printmaker
I am a printmaker who was introduced, taught, and trained in the art form by my mother, Laurel Nannup. My main focus is to investigate and interrogate ideas of what it means to be a man in today’s society. As well as, exploring my own identity and place in the duality of the Noongar and Western worlds.
