The Last Supper 2021, delves into the forgotten wetlands and waterways between North Melbourne and Footscray, notably a serene saltwater lake. In the early days of 'settlement', this lake was tragically transformed into a dumping ground for waste, abattoirs, and industry, ultimately suffocating under the weight of human activity in the 1880s. Prior to this, the lake was a vibrant ecosystem, teeming with life-quail, parakeet, eel, cockatoo, swans, tea tree, sheoak. It was a hunting ground and a gathering place for the local Kulin mobs. However, like many other natural wonders, it fell victim to the destructive forces of colonisation and aggressive capitalism.

The chandelier panels, adorned with composite cut-out blended layers of images, serve as a poignant symbol of what could have been or what was. Suspended by butcher hooks, they form a chandelier above a table set for one, too low to be sat at comfortably, serving decaying food and adorned with the feathers of the birdlife that once thrived on the lake. A fringe of she-oak lies on the floor, carrying the whispers of the stories that once filled the air. The artwork is a commentary on destruction, colonialism, greed, and capital.
