Last week we had an offer accepted on a new house &#8211; 6 weeks to the day after arriving in Perth. It settles in January, so then we&#8217;ll finally be able to unpack our shipping container (which is now in storage) and I&#8217;ll be able to set up my studio and get back to work in earnest. In the mean time I&#8217;ve been compelled and coerced into a couple of seasonal shows.<\/p>\n<p>For my fellow West-Australians, I&#8217;m going to be at two exhibition openings\/Christmas parties on the 7th of December, where I&#8217;ll be showcasing some enamel works that I brought back to the country with me. For my fellow Perthlings and the nearby Freo dwellers, this is the first time that my works have been on display west-side since 2014.
