Buoys Marking

I am not sure about where my work is taking me but I am really engaged with it and enjoying myself. My head is also swimming with new directions and concepts - really good feeling to have - just need more time in the studio.

I have been tentatively getting back into my sculpture over the last year. I actually majored in sculpture at university and am really excited about making moves back in this direction.

In 2008 I was accepted into the 2008 Toorak Village Festival of Sculpture http://www.tooraksculpture.com.au/ which was a very rewarding experience. I entered these small works in the show.

These sculptures were exploring the idea of monuments to the past. They encased or supported monuments to the last of the trees and other organic forms. I suppose an environmental concern underlies each one of them but I was also interested in them working aesthetically with a stark beauty or intrigue of their own.

Geelong Regional Artists Exhibition 2008

In 2008 I was selected for the tenth Geelong Regional Artists exhibition with five other local regional artists. The exhibition is fostered by the Gordon Foundation and run through the Gordon Gallery at The Gordon TAFE, Geelong. It is designed to encourage, assist and expose Geelong regional artists to the Geelong community.

It was a strong exhibition in a quality venue and was a great opportunity. Below are some examples of the paintings that I exhibited in the show.

Sons of Korah - Album Art

In 2008 the painting shown below was used as a CD cover for the musical group, Sons of Korah.

This group was formed and is headed up by Matthew Jacoby. Their main musical focus is interpreting the Biblical Psalms in a contemporary manner  http://sonsofkorah.com.au/ The idea of using one of my paintings in a design format was an interesting prospect. I am really pleased with the final CD design.
