Daniel speaks to the Melbourne-born artist at her latest show A Miracle Constantly Repeated – where life-like silicon sculptures are spread among the hidden upper rooms of Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station. The city’s COVID-19 lockdown means the show, when it re-opens, will now run until the end of August.
