Heritage Hill Studio Residency 2015

Picture
Since June 2015 I've been undertaking an artist residency at Heritage Hill in Dandenong. My studio there has been located in the
beautiful Laurel Lodge where I've been busy creating some new work. Sadly, it all finishes up at the end of September, 2015.  I have one last community engagement project as part of my residency which is the "Beastie creature book workshop for kids". We will be creating a flip book to be reproduced for the kids. It will be great.. It's all booked out now but I may look to running it again some time soon.

Commissions

Picture
I've been lucky to meet someone who had previously bought one of my artworks and who some time later, approached me with an idea for a commission.  I had been given some stories to think about from his personal life and the lives of people he knew; amazing stories full of mystery. I enjoyed working on this piece and the personal nature of the stories I was told made it a pretty special collaboration.

Memory.

I've taken part in season four of a unique
group exhibition that focuses on the theme of memory "as encoding, storage, retrieval, and investigates the translation of subconscious and subjective memory into a visual record, a working collection of our being and existence".

My work 'PELT' (left) is being shown as an AO sized 'light box' image which is externally displayed in Rodda Lane
, located off Lonsdale street, behind the RMIT Gallery. The exhibition runs for four months ending late January 2014.
