Feast - Depot Gallery, Sydney.












Another show i'm in, which will be opening on Sunday 20th Dec, is FEAST, a show exploring the themes surrounding the Christmas feasting table. I'm still putting the finishing touches on my piece, so no images of it yet, and it's quite a departure from my usual workings, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Precious Pendants - Object Gallery, Sydney.






















Having opened last Friday, this post is a little delayed, but, here is an exciting show i am very happy to be a part of. Precious Pendants is an Object Gallery curated show featuring a group of unique pendants submitted by a hand picked selection of Australian established and emerging jewellers.

Work in progress...






















Damn! I was so rushed to get some new work ready and off to eg.etal that i forgot to photograph the finished pieces. The pieces had to be in last Monday to be sent for professional photography for their newsletter, so hopefully i'll get some lovely images of them a little later. So here's a couple of pieces in progress. To see the final products, head into eg.etal.

New stockist, new work.


































I was recently invited to stock my work at Kick Arts Contemporary Arts retail space, Cairns, QLD. Word is my parcel of goodies has safely arrived and will be out on display by next week. Here's a taster of what Kick Arts has received.

Tasty Tid Bits






























































































Spring is in the air and it's hard for me not to get a little light headed and giddy with the smells of jasmine, roses, warm earth and the sudden return of sunglasses and sandals....then again, this is melbourne, lets not get too hasty too soon.
Either way, i've been hard at work getting new pieces up and ready to send to Craft Victoria, Eg.Etal and Alice Euphemia. Here's a sneaky peek preview of what's getting delivered in the next day or so. Earrings are off to Craft Vic, rings to Alice, and Eg will be getting a few new pieces which are still hush hush, so stay tuned...

Open Studio '09

So open studio has been and gone and what a whirlwind it was. Thanks to everyone who came up to see us, our studio and work. There was a fantastic response and some lovely conversations (despite me losing my voice and sounding quite tragic).

Nicholas Open Studios




















Come join myself and Karla Way (my studio buddy) at the Nicholas Building Open Studio evenings. This Thursday and Friday from 4pm to 9pm, many artists and creative businesses will open their doors to the public to showcase and sell their work. Swing by, have a drink or two, travel up and down the 9 floors of the Nicholas building and maybe find a little something special. 

NOTE: Karla and I have moved studios!!! As of tomorrow we will be located in studio 9 on the 5th floor. We've just given the walls a fresh lick of paint and hung up the pot plants, so open studios will double up as a studio warming for us. Swing by and say hi. x

Gone to Seed











































Pendant. Timber, paint, glass seed beads, silk thread and oxidised silver.

Forest for the Fences

My piece included in the Craft Victoria 'Perspective' exhibition. The theme to work to was City/Country, my response was:  


Populations grow and urbanisation spreads. Forests become cities and natural landscapes become private property. We flatten hills and replace trees with fences as we conquer, control and contain land in pursuit of a little something that we can call ours. A haven divided from the rest of the world by a thin line bordering mine from yours. We cut, shape and mould a home, a garden, a sanctuary from land that provides much of what we need to satisfy our nesting needs. As we continue to spread, to cut and divide, to manipulate and consume our natural recourses, how much do we forgo when we can no longer see the forest for the fences.


The neckpiece is constructed from hand whittled pieces of timber that graduate from raw wood to a carved and painted picket fence post.
