Installation Collab with Artist Tim McLoraine We are in Washington D.C. at Red Dirt Studios How amazing is this piece Moon Cocoon is getting better and better as we create it It has been a fun and interesting project to use and re-use Millard from Tim's studio that Time used on another project prior to this and am sure again in future projects as we are discovering more and more of its potentiality. That is why I love working with unconventional materials as there is no prescribe used for these items, well lets re-prhrase this there is but that was for the object first purpose and as a discarded object it become now something else and something beautiful and no longer a functional object.

Glad to see this very large installation coming together in the Glass Cube Gallery at Cube 37.

This collaborative work has been staged to have a maximum viewing capacity. Angela's work can be seen projected on three giant screens at night and my all white installation can be viewed during daytime from the street. To experience the full extent of this immersive installation come  and see it close up   during the gallery open hours. Opening Hours Tuesday to Friday 9-5, Saturday 9-2

Starting the new year with a show at PS50 one of the newest alternative galleries in town. The show is about how interesting opposite can be. As Christmas is in summer in Australia, I will be recreating the feeling of the wintery Christmas of my youth with a little difference as it is presented in Melbourne on our long hot summer nights for the month of February 2015. Nine Large snowflakes  created from single use plastic packaging found in our back lanes will be backlit in window boxes along Orr st (opposite cafe).

A beautiful day in Footscray, further building my totems which I have lined with a different plastic lining each. Lots of people coming in the studio today!  Perhaps this is due to the article on Artsbox artist residency in the Star Weekly November 5, 2014 printed issue by Benjamin Millar and the lovely photo taken by photographer Joe Mastroianni as seen below.
