How It All Started….

The following is an excerpt of an interview I did for online zine Invurt:

“The idea for SpaceGirl began a few years ago on a bit of a different vibe…I studied fashion design at TAFE and used to toy around a lot with the idea of wearing clothes as a form of social armour. When I was younger, I was very concerned with what others thought of me, and thought if I projected a certain image of myself through my outward appearance, I could protect myself from any negative opinions I may get from those around me. By the time I finished my course, I realised I really just loved doing art, and the idea of armour kind of morphed into a SpaceGirl through my sketches & eventually she found her way onto my canvases.

SpaceGirl became the person I wanted to be….she didn’t care what people thought of her, she dressed how she felt and lived her life the way she wanted without needing verification from others. Now I imagine that SpaceGirl flies around the universe being her awesome self & basically helping people figure out how to feel great about themselves. I have stickers that say ‘Call 1500SpaceGirl’ – it’s to remind us that we are fantastic and perfect as we are. And we’re the only ones who need to believe that for it to be true”.

This is a total muck around shot of a song my boyfriend made up specially for SpaceGirl :) The image is a half finished copy of my next SpaceGirl print, which along with a LazerGirl print will mesh together to make one big awesome GalaxyGirls print yeeeeeh!

This was my first ever SpaceGirl! It’s also my favorite painting from my exhibition last year which was based on SpaceGirl. Acrylic on canvas.
