When I made my Extinction flock (29 extinct Australian birds) for my practice-led research PhD, it was my intention to keep the flock together, ideally to be held in a public institution where any member of the public could visit and see the ‘specimens’ for themselves. The 29 life-scale paintings were shown at the World Science Festival Brisbane 2016 and were […]

Jordan and I had a chat about my […]

I was invited to exhibit at Other space, an ARI-style project run by contemporary artist Sue Beyer in the regional town of Blackbutt, Queensland. The only proviso to show here is that you address the idea of ‘Other’ in the work that you show. I started thinking about this and how it could connect to my work […]
BOOKISH & Bloom October has been a busy month in the studio.
