Diverse Dominion Deities explores the fragility of diversity in Australia through four mythical creatures representing cultural, racial, gender, and cognitive diversity.

The piece combines mass-produced ceramic animals, adorned with my handmade porcelain flowers, and blue deities crafted from air-dry clay. This mix of materials symbolizes the diverse world of clay, serving as an allegory for cultural diversity.

Blu-Tack, used to attach the flowers, emphasizes the delicate nature of cross-cultural connections, requiring ongoing care. The visible Blu-Tack highlights the complexities of cultural integration, where elements may not always align perfectly, but with effort, harmony can be found.

By embellishing the animals with flowers, I transform their original form, meaning, and function—reflecting how the merging of cultures creates new identities and perceptions.
