After more than a decade in public education; creating spaces for young people to express themselves and develop a sense of voice… I found myself circling back to my own.

What began as a return to making gradually re-established itself as a sustained visual art practice.

Working under the name BRZA DOLL, I create abstract paintings, collages, and mixed media works that explore perception; how colour, form, and spatial tension shape the way something is felt, rather than simply seen.

My work often sits in a space between recognition and uncertainty, where familiar cues begin to shift, dissolve, or resist easy interpretation.

I’m drawn to small strangenesses, quiet disruptions, and moments that feel slightly off-kilter.
The varieties of organised-uncanny that emerge through layering, gesture, and material behaviour.
Precision and persistence underpin my process, but are continually interrupted by play, experimentation, and the unexpected.

Much of my work develops through series and ongoing investigations, often in response to place, memory, and lived experience; from Western Sydney to recent fieldwork in Scotland. Rather than resolving neatly, these works hold tension: between interior and exterior, visibility and concealment, control and emergence.

Alongside my studio practice, I engage in community-based and research-led projects that extend these ideas into shared and public contexts.

At its core, my practice is driven by curiosity; a way of paying attention, staying with uncertainty, and allowing meaning to unfold over time.
