Perspex, timber, collage and found objects. (30 x 30 x 60 cm). This work represents an ongoing chess like game between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Winner of the Queensland Art Gallery Andrew Pederson Prize for Small Sculpture.
Plaster boat, gold leaf, seeds, sticks, paint. (45 x 35 x 7cm). An assemblage of found and constructed objects to give the sense of floating in a memory.
Recycled tennis court lawn. (100 x 100 x 130). This work was made specifically for the Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens. I wanted to produce topiary like objects that would sit in the landscape well but of course not require the several years generally set aside for real plantings.
Plaster boat, gold leaf, paper, sticks and paint. (45 x 35 x 7cm). An assemblage to play with the joy of finely tuning the placement of objects in relation to one other.
