  • The Neck – Craft ACT

    Hiya team. Apologies for that last cryptic post – with bonus secret password window – on the main blog stream. I feel like a right fool but now the url is attached to an application I can’t change it until adjudication finishes. If it’s any consolation most of the content was taken from last year’s…

  • Juukan Caves Anniversary / Virtual Indigenous Film Fest 2021

    Yesterday marks 1 year since the destruction of the Juukan Shelters, a traditional site of the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinnikura (PKKP) peoples located in the Pilbara area in the northwest of Western Australia. If you’ve been following this blog for the last few months you’ll know that I have made the facts of that…

  • The Neck / / Craft ACT

    I’m in The Neck, a group show in Canberra, thanks to Bridget Kennedy of the eponymous Project Space in Sydney. It was meant to be last year, timed to coincide with the JMGA conference. In fact, it looks as though this whole programme was. Go see it if you can; there’s a lot of talent…

  • thank you for watching – Juukan Tears update

    sigh It has been bittersweet, winding down this project over the last week. I finished making and tearing off decals last Tuesday the 11th of May, after a mammoth effort by Susannah who had started the stripping the previous Friday while I prepped the support board for eventually hanging the work. Then the Friday just…

  • Makers’ Film Festival

    I have two short films about recent work in this festival. I know, what am I like?!?

(Teaser and text below courtesy the amazing Maker&Smith website)…

Shout out to my City of Armadale dwelling and working familiars! (Y’all know who you are.) The winners have all been announced already – and it’s…

  • getting close…

    Have you been checking in to the livestream? I know I have a dedicated fan or two (thank you for watching, sorry about all the noise..!) who look in, so I wanted to let y’all know that we’re getting close to the end. There’s about a week left of regular manufacturing before we switch to…
