Welcome.
Thank you for being curious. To satisfy overwhelming demand for images of my work and information on my methods, I provide: this 190+ page website, a blog videos (YouTube and Vimeo) studio classes in inner city Perth, plus 340+ workshops, conferences and symposia, in a dozen countries. Ideas I have a deep interest in the social organisation around ceramics, and the arts (anthropology/ sociology). Initially I was inspired by architecture and the flowers of local banksia plants (see 6 February 2008 in my blog). Many see similarities to marine life in my work. Since then I have increasingly been inspired by theories of non-organisational social networks. As a professional artist and freelance art educator, my art social networks have provided both creative stimulation and professional opportunity. Medium I hope my ceramic paper clay work suggests the cycles, rigidities and dynamic nature of our society, and myself. Since 1994 my compressed paper sculptures are a way to silence the textual chatter and overload of office work research, correspondence and mail. Despite the promise of the "paperless office" we still have a strange emotional attachment with paper. Read more. Exhibiting Growing interest in my work has lead to invitations to participate in interstate and international exhibitions. These fed my appetite to learn about how the globally arts and crafts are organised. Teaching I accept interstate and overseas teaching and exhibiting requests, but with a young family I currently limit my time away to about a month per year. A big "thank you" to the many people who have kindly shared their experiences and information with me. I hope this website will in someway repay their kindness, by sharing with you what I have learnt from them. Cheers |
