All Is Domain (2010)
All Is Domain was an interactive installation based around a tangible surface that served as the site of interaction and visual feedback of the system. As visitors to the exhibition dig through the translucent granules on the table-top surface, they are able to discover several hidden triggers beneath. Each of these activates an audiovisual event that describes an historical event or story from the local exhibition area.

Device series (2011)
A year-long project in the Digital Media Honours program at UNSW Art & Design. Working alongside a 2 year old autistic girl, her mother and occupational therapist in the home, I developed a series of 3 interactive objects to explore her sensory preferences. The first of these was a ‘catch all’ device to observe choice; the second explored her preference (haptics) in more detail; the final applied this to a useful object in the home setting.

Binaural dome (2014)
The Binaural dome was a speculative object produced for the Mighty Healthy group exhibition at UNSW Galleries. It gave visitors to the exhibition the opportunity to experience a simple interactive experience while negotiating heightened auditory input via a pair of headphones receiving binaural input from the gallery space. This allowed viewers to consider what daily life might be like with a sensory processing disorder.

An Exhibition of Process (2015)
This exhibition served dual purposes: it was an opportunity to display the background materials, processes and outcomes of my doctoral study; it was also the site for interviews with expert practitioners to discuss and get feedback on my practice which led to the material artefacts on show.
