Everything is Horrible' (2008) combines items that are familiar to the viewer with those manipulated by the artist. Intended to be an artwork with a "punch line", there are two factors that shape the outcome of how the images are observed: The first is what the viewer expects to see, and the second is what they unexpectedly discover. This second factor influences the way every item within the photograph is examined. The entire image becomes scrutinised and the innocence of expectation can only return with a new viewer.

'Everything is Horrible' was exhibited in the COFA Annual 2008 and was awarded the Australia Centre for Photography Prize. It shares its title with a 2011 solo show featuring work from 2008 to 2011.
