In other fun news, the book I illustrated last year titled 101 Things to do when the wi-fi is down, written by Ruby Ashby-Orr and published by Affirm Press, has been translated for the Czech Republic!

And in more book news, a wonderful new book about the great Sydney based artist Ken Done comes out this week! The book's written by Amber Creswell Bell and published by Thames and Hudson, it comes out this week, and I was lucky enough to be asked to write a small piece about Ken that's been included in the book!

Thanks so much for reading, hope you're having a nice day! Oh and also, recently I remade my website, so please enjoy perusing my fancy new site by clicking here!

Jamming

Hi, here's a new series of ceramic sculptures titled Jamming. The series consists of six life-size sculptures of a jam jar, jam donut, Jam Fancies, Pearl Jam CD, Space Jam VHS and a pair of jim jams.

This work was inspired by some of my favourite sources of comfort and draws upon nostalgia to playfully respond to the notion of self preservation in what has been a challenging year for many.
