Kodama

I am very much looking forward to seeing this exhibition...

I have admired Yuko's work since I saw it in Fresh a few years ago. And when I got this invite I assumed the donut shape was about 70mm across, but Boy was I Wrong!

Now I'm really excited!

Well it's been Beuysed.

I heard about it at the Art Jewelry Forum and I think it's a ripper.

Have you missed me?

Probably not. But I've missed you.

Really...

You especially.



Not much to report but at the same time, Oh So Much.

The biggest news is that I'm going to Austria!

Salzburg in fact!

I found out that Manuel Vilhena will be teaching at the Salzburg Summer Academy.

Manuel Vilhena! (post about his conference talk from my trip to Idar-Oberstein)

I'm so there. He is ace! His work is Ace! So I applied.

And I've been accepted.

Whoop whoop!!

You're invited...

...to The Australia Project. This is a really cool project organised by three designers, Chris Edser, Yianni Hill and Scott Heinrich and is being presented in Melbourne to coincide with the AGIdeas conference.

And guess what?

Yes, I was accepted to take part!

The exhibition opens on Wednesday night at c3 gallery at the Abbotsford convent. Please come along. Here's a preview of my brooches. They are named after the characters in Rikki Tikki Tavi by Rudyard Kipling.

Nag - sublimate printed steel, garnet beads, copper. About 15cm tall

Nagaina - reworked biscuit tin, sublimate printed steel, garnet beads, copper. About 15cm square.

Krait - sublimate printed steel, copper. About 25cm long.



Yes. They're big. And Yes. My photography is getting better!
