PROJECTS

'Cott Willow'.

double-sided aluminium composite and steel mesh

screen originally for 'Sculpture By The Sea' Cottesloe Western Australia.

Based on the Willow china imagery,

'Cott Willow' has 3 wise fisherpeople,

a dog, the rock groyne, boats and Cottesloe features. A girl looks out for her hidden surfer boyfriend. The shark-watching plane noisily and ironically pulls a banner slogan 'Peace & Quiet'.

In becalmed times the beach is

a place of happiness.

'Urban On Cambridge apartments

Perth, Western Australia.

6 foyer artworks

for QUBE Property Group

These images have been created from photographs of City Beach in Perth and Hong Kong.

The brief : create an edgy urban gritty feel, such as seen in the exaggerated textures and colours.

In consideration of wear & tear, graffiti and so on, the works were outputted on aluminium composite sheet, float mounted and secured with hidden fixings.

EPHEMERA

As a long time collecter of reusable cardboard and other discarded materials, I have an endearing passion for 'Something From Nothing'

Below, seen on the left in the image, is a 'chandelier' made from packaging waste and chocolate bar wrappers.

It was made in Perth, deconstructed

for suitcase plane travel, and re-made in Broome

for a one-night-only

decoration for

outdoors

'Nude' in spaghetti, chocolate and toothpaste boxes

'Precious Little'

cardboard jewelry made for

'Sculpture Inside' as an in-theme miniature/mockup of 'Precious'

for Sculpture By The Sea,

Cottesloe beach,

Western Australia

'Precious' ...giant squashed recyc. cardboard sculpture of a CHARM BRACELET found/buried in the sand.

SPECIAL NOTE: This work was shown here for 24 hours only. Constructed to last for a few months, it was deemed environmentally unsound - though it was not.

'Precious' was made before the 'Ephemera' category

was added years later to 'Sculpture By The Sea'

It lasted through Winter storms in the front yard.
