Her most recent work looks at the destruction old apartment buildings along the main road Northbourne Avenue in Canberra, and the community response to this destruction.

To make way for the growing population, low-rise apartment buildings along Canberra’s Northbourne avenue which once housed students and low-income earners, are being replaced by tall, sleek, luxurious apartments. This work responds to the ever changing landscape of Canberra’s inner-north and the response of the community to change. 

When I got to the black layer of this CMYK print the paper slipped from the registration tabs and created this misprint.
