Portraits de Melbourne by the author Valentine Sabouraud Hiraki-Editions

How honoured I am to be part of this wonderful group of people living and breathing Melbourne

in my studio (photo by Emma Bartlett)

For my part, it has been more than 26 years and I have not regretted one-minute landing here in the first place
Finding a job, meeting a group of friends thanks to my Australian encounter in Venice (Louise Owen)  getting married and giving birth to 2 beautiful girls and for the last 15 years being and living as an artist doing the job of my dreams, as you can see Melbourne has not dispointed me the slightest
Valentine the author has faithfully told my Australian story and it is amazing to read oneself like listening to someone's life story

For French speaking people coming to Melbourne and Francophiles alike, it is a book not to miss as the richness of its inhabitants spreads far and wide by their inspirational life written by the talented Valentine Sabouraud and my studio portrait taken by the talented Emma Bartlett

Encore Merci Valentine et Emma pour votre generosite

Sculpture III 2013 Copper and Found Black Plastic Human 'objects' challenge each creature to find new place or new ways to survive. Human indifference is surely the Ocean greatest threat. Every Breath We Take Every Drop We Drink Depends on a Healthy Ocean

There it is the dismantling of a 3 weeks show and we are please and feel that the exhibition Regurgitate. It certainly allowed people to enter our realm of interest, in pausing, for a moment, their thoughts to things they may not have seen, thought of ... or were indifferent to All plastic items in the show were found on the beach Human indifference is the worse thing that can happen and in a way that is  where we have come to in this super fast world The oceans are polluted by our plastic and consumer waste that will never disappear .... until.....  we take responsibility in  create recycling plants through out the world but first thing first,  How about in Australia!!!
