It may look like a clean slate, but it’s the incoming traffic just above the horizon line that’s widening eyes and setting my little duck-legs to paddlin’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
March: Heading to Munich for the jewellery-obsessive’s most favoured\/feared hang, Munich Jewellery Week. No, I’m not in the IHM’s one and only Schmuck exhibition this year (but great Aussies artists<\/a> are) though I am in a show at IHM’s own Galerie Handwerk<\/a>. See you there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also March: If not in Munich, how about Birmingham? I’m catching friends, jewellery moguls and students at BCU’s SoJ<\/a> for a talk about my practice in mid-March. We’re gonna talk Banner and Badge, if that suits y’all? I’ll be sweeping around to London after that so if you wanna say g’day..?<\/p>\n\n\n\n April\/May: Rockingham Arts Centre<\/a> – it’s official, I’m coming up soon on their program. Right now I’m working on new installation equipment to show another side of the Banner and Badge<\/em> exhibition (literally the back side of a work that faced wall last time – I’ve been told that this alone is worth a viewing) down in Rockingham in late April\/May. There will be works not seen before in Australia. There will be an artist talk. There will be a relaxed Saturday afternoon opening. There will be a (cheap!) workshop opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n May: Thanks to the craft goddess, teacher and scholar Mel Young<\/a>, I will be involved in a big group show at Atta Gallery in Bangkok<\/a>. I wish I could go back and hang out in the jewellery district again like I managed for an arvo last year, but not all dreams can be answered inside a single calendar year, so we must press on because I’m going to…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
