My role is to install, handle and transport the collection around Melbourne.

Short explanation of your artwork selection:

I’m a massive fan of Josie Kunoth Petyarre’s small characters carved from wood. I’ve installed them a few times over the years in corporate settings and what I’m drawn to are the colours and fantastic expressions on their faces that can brighten up any office.
