Exibition

My next exhibition is a joint exhibition with Rob Andrews at Percolator Gallery, Paddington in Brisbane.

No Ordinary Bliss

We'd love to see you there.

Opening night is 31 August! Not long now.




Birds Nests

Iluwanti Ken and Mary Katajuku Pan, South Australian weaving artists, submitted the sublime Bird Nests as their entry in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.

I find the secret insides of caves compelling, like the secret undersides of pavement cracks. Crevices and interstices.

The Birds Nests of Iluwanti Ken and Mary Katajuku Pan speak of deep familiarity with the life around them. I'm sitting up at Barney View, which still  feels so foreign to me, and thinking how much quiet sitting it would take to build that familiarity. I'm like a fish out of water.

Craft nylon, on the other hand (a recent garage sale find) is touchingly familiar. Quintessentially me, Mt Gravatt. With profound apologies to Iluwanti Ken and Mary Katajuku Pan ...
