Hello 2010!!

Oops! It's already 2010. I have been busy entertaining my little boy but I also had to finish my public art projects for a new building in the Brisbane CBD called 400 George (image above) and the new Ipswich Courthouse (images below).

I took these images before the glass was fitted, but now everything is behind the glass and it's kind of mysterious. If you go to Ipswich please visit the courthouse. You'll find a lot of beautiful work including some by Lincoln Austin and Gwen Hanson Piggott among others.

I hope you have a very Happy New Year!

Sydney Solo Show!!

I'm totally obsessed with slab building! I'm enjoying discovering new methods by accident or from experience. And when I fire my pieces, they may change (bend slump and brake) quite often, but that is also part of the fun!! It's an almost never ending exploding tour!! I've been trying to make objects that wander between organic and geometric or industrial styles. These images are a little example of the results of my recent efforts that will be part of my exhibition at Helen Stephens Gallery in Sydney from 15 July until 12 August. Right next door is All Hand Made Gallery and during the same period, it will feature Keiko Mastui's work, so please check it out if you're in Sydney!!

Pourers!

Recently I made new work, "Rain Series", for an upcoming show called "Pourers" at Object Gallery in Sydney during the Ceramic Triennale. I drew some little buildings and trees with rain - each one is different. So if you're interested in rain, maybe you can find one you love! And you might even see a little person or two hanging around this show! It runs from 11-28 July.

Group Shows!!

At the moment there are two exhibitions that I'm in! One is called "White Heat" which is one part of the Australian Ceramic Triennale, it's on at Manly Art Gallery in Sydney. My good friends Mel Robson, Pru Morrison and Virginia Jones are also in that show so please check it out!!

And the other one is a group exhibition at Andrew Baker's Gallery in Brisbane called "Spectral Bequest". There are three artists in the show: Pamela See, Deborah Walker and me! Opening drinks are on Friday the 19th June from 6-8pm and the show runs until 4 July. If you are around in Brisbane, please stop by!

Little-Uns

Recently I made some tiny little pieces for the exhibition call "Little - Uns" at a gallery called Pomme in Mornington, Victoria.  Mel Robson and Shannon Garson are also in that show. If you are a Mornington local or are planning to go there, please drop by!

It's on from the 4th until the 24th of April.

Square-arama!

Looooooooong time no write!!!  I've had quite an interesting busy time since I came back from Japan. I think it was pay back because I had such a beautiful and wonderful time in Japan. ha ha! Anyway, I just wanted to show you a preview of the work that I've been making recently....square-arama!!
