Large oil painting of about twenty bogong moths flying from right to left from an opened door towards an ornate lamp standing on an old phone table with a green rotary telephone. The lamp is the only light source and the wall is covered in a retro pattern.

Works

Oil painting of a bowl of pho in a Vietnamese restaurant. There is an upturned copy of Elizabeth Tan's Smart Ovens for Lonely People on the far left. In the background are the condiments and eating utensils usually found in these establishments.
Oil painting of a typical kitchen found in Australian fibre homes of the 70s and 80s, only this kitchen contains evidence of Vietnamese life such as a rice cooker and a plastic basket of herbs. Outside a Vietnamese set Ong dia and lion pass the window.
Oil painting of a still life of a porcelain geisha, a box of Pocky, a small wind-up unicorn, texts in a glass tumbler with large dimples and a succulent in a pot. There is a pink shadow cast over them except in the right bottom corner where light is fallen from a window. Three snails are crawling around, one at the base of the geisha, another on the wall above the setting and the third on its way to the sunlight.
Oil painting of a silvereye and a red-browed finch sitting on some little bottles. Four dahlias are around them in their own bottles. They are accompanied by bogong moths, one on the wall behind, one on a bottle and one on the floor in the foreground.
oil painting of a kitchen bathed in light from outside, that could be from the sun or an explosion. The kitchen has a salmon-pink Formica benchtop. Three sulphur-crested cockatoos are wrecking the joint.
