Studio Update - June 2024
My piece, He’d Like to Come and Meet Us, But He Thinks He’d Blow Our Minds is finalist in this year’s Lethbridge 20000 Small-Scale Art Prize, amongst some dazzling company.
The exhibition runs from 13 - 30 July at Lethbridge Gallery in Paddington, Brisbane.
Award winner!
My piece, ‘Kate Moss’, was recently awarded the top prize - the ‘Golden Paintbrush’ at the Murky Waters gallery group exhibition, themed ‘Into the Jungle’.
This work will be on display at Murky Waters Gallery in Townsville, Queensland, during September, after which it will again be available through my BlueThumb profile.
National Capital Art Prize 2023
I’m thrilled to announce that my mixed media sculptural work, ‘A Shadow of Her Former Shelf’, is a finalist in the National Capital Art Prize sustainability section!
See the artwork here and cast your vote in the People’s Choice Award (you can vote every 24 hours!).
‘A Shadow of Her Former Shelf’ is an artistic call to action against global warming and coral bleaching. After a decade abroad, the artist returned home to a drastically altered Great Barrier Reef. This piece celebrates its ghostly, bleached beauty, mourns what has faded, and holds tightly onto nostalgia through the use of sustainably repurposed, treasured objects: the artist's great-great aunt's intricate crochet work (yellowed and gathering dust), her mother’s favourite childhood beach towel, and jewellery collected on her travels in South East Asia, holding precious memories but faded from fashion.
New work!
