Portal is an ephemeral night performance set within a sheoak grove our family calls The Fairy Forest. A solitary spotlight figure enters the forest alone, activating the space between childhood imagination and adult perception.
The work explores how early psychological imprints shape our relationship with the unknown, balancing curiosity with fear, fantasy with vulnerability. Within the shifting darkness of the forest, the body a vessel moving between memory, myth, and lived experience.
Collapse in Yellow, 2025
03:59 min
Collapse in Yellow, although visually poetic, confronts industrial monoculture — a totalising field where diversity is eliminated in favour of efficiency and yield. The yellow expanse is both spectacle and warning: a landscape engineered to produce at the cost of life once held there.
Emerging within a moment of geopolitical fracture, the work reflects on fuel insecurity and the redirection of agricultural land into energy systems. The same land is asked to feed, fuel, and sustain — intensifying extraction under the guise of resilience. The seductive brilliance of yellow operates as a subtle disquiet, drawing the viewer toward a surface that appears abundant, optimistic, and benign. In this sense, the aesthetic functions as a form of packaging or veneer, reflecting how industrial agriculture is often normalised through images of productivity and prosperity while obscuring the ecological complexity and loss beneath.
The work suggests that humanity’s relationship with these systems is not external but complicit; we are participants in and beneficiaries of the very processes we may question. Overlaying the work, the ticking clocks of Parliament operate as a rhythm misaligned with ecological reality. There is no outside position: humanity is implicated within a closed planetary system where consequence circulates without exit.
Wheatbelt, 2025
03:16 min
Wheatbelt is a site-responsive environmental artwork created in dialogue with an ancient granite outcrop in the heart of the Western Australian Wheatbelt. Surrounded by vast expanses of cleared farmland, this untouched pocket of bushland remains only because it was unsuitable for cropping — a quiet testament to resilience amid widespread ecological disruption.
Working with flour as a medium — a potent symbol of agriculture’s impact — and the exposed granite bedrock as canvas, the work reflects on the profound tension between cultivation and loss, growth and erasure. Inspired by T.S. Eliot’s lines in The Hollow Men (“Between the conception / And the creation / Between the emotion / And the response / Falls the shadow”), Wheatbelt meditates on the fragile space between human intention and environmental consequence.
The ephemeral installation was shaped by wind, sun, and time, eventually dissolving back into the land. The project captures the shifting, shadowed relationship between human history and the ancient landscape, inviting reflection on cycles of intervention, survival, and loss.
Carbon Circle in the Engadin, 2026
02:37 min
Carbon Circle is an ephemeral, site-responsive land artwork created in the Engadin, Switzerland, in January 2026. The work forms part of an evolving constellation of site-responsive projects unfolding across the alpine landscape, exploring seasonality, elemental processes, and cycles of return.
Drawn with horticultural charcoal on a snow-covered field, Carbon Circle gradually disappears beneath snowfall. As spring arrives, melting snow may partially reveal or reconfigure the form before the charcoal settles harmlessly into the soil, returning nutrients to the land. Carbon functions here as both material and metaphor — reflecting on emissions, sequestration, and ecological cycles.
Guided by Christie-Coxon’s long-standing conceptual framework Circle Culture, the work rejects permanence and ownership in favour of restraint, attentiveness, and ecological humility. The Engadin’s alpine conditions — snow, silence, altitude, and seasonal extremity — act as collaborators, shaping the work’s visibility and duration.
Carbon Circle proposes art as a form of listening: a quiet, ritual gesture that leaves no physical trace, yet invites reflection on humanity’s entanglement with natural systems.
Daughters Of The Wild, 2025
04:59 min
Daughters of the Wild is a meditation on forgotten wisdoms and cultural lineages that once bound humanity to the rhythms of the Earth. The work reflects on traditions that have been lost, suppressed, or obscured, yet whose echoes continue to resonate. At its heart is the recognition that our deepest belonging lies not apart from Nature, but within it.
Celebrating the untamed, regenerative spirit of the feminine, Daughters of the Wild considers the feminine not simply as gendered identity, but as a vital force of connection, intuition, and renewal that exists in all human beings.
Through imagery of wildness, memory, and return, the work invites us to remember what has been silenced, honour what endures, and reawaken our enduring relationship with the living world.
