Paper Wangka (Paper Story in Martu) exhibition unearthed paper artwork treasures from Martumili collection as a professional development project for us three emerging curators. Since then I have lead the gallery team to curate and install a number of exhibitions including Ngapikaja (the loose translation thingamibobs) and Mikka (Bush foods). I also curated a show for Yaama ganu Gallery in NSW for this September 2023. I love working with spaces and amazing artwork. I love going through the process of selection and coming up with themes that tie the pieces together. I get so excited to see works the works we send to different galleries, stretched and hung on the walls in places like Darwin, Perth and Sydney."
