Products and projects

From and for Lorne, Victoria


Working on a few proposals or the lorne sculpture prize along with some exciting new material. I found this amazing seaweed at the beach in lorne and began to do a few tests. My favorite of which is featured below, embroidered seaweed scrolled up into these ancient texts lost at sea.

Lorne and beyond

Ventured down the great ocean road to visit Lorne and scope out the area for my application to the Lorne Sculpture Biennale 2016.



Returning with photos and a bit of skin like seaweed for some new ideas. 

Embroidered and rolled for the "dead sea scrolls"

#integration


Above is the video element for the woven video installation #inegration.

What Goes Up Must Come Down...

and lucky enough for me to get another go around. De-installed the work at Melbourne City Library and then quickly re-purposed the work for a small install at my mate's cafe. South of Johnston in Collingwood.

Here are a few peaks from the de/re/install.

SOJO (re-install)



Here is the full weave in all its fullness... 6 x 7m...




This work rested across the stairwell across from the main installation and could be seen upon entering on the lower level of the library.








WHITE NIGHT MELBOURNE 2015

With over 400,000 people attending this years White Night festivities it certainly was mayhem on the evening, though Melbourne City Library with "Biblioasis" provided shelter and a more intimate approach to the chaos of the streets.


8 pm doors open for the past hour and the steady stream of viewers begin...


9pm the sun is fully set and the video pops even more on the woven surface....


10pm people continue to enjoy using the UV lamps and uncovering more pathways....



5am on the people continue to enjoy the visual, tactile and interactive aspects of the work....
