This piece is included in a small series of my works currently on display at the Frankston Arts Centre until February 12th. For more info click here!

In other news, there's one week left to see Emergence, the group exhibition I'm in at Divisions Gallery in Coburg, on now until January 16. For more info click here!

This series of work, half created during lockdown and half created well before, shows the contrasting worlds of pre and post pandemic. Featuring a series of train drawings completed in 2014 on my commute to art school, showing maskless commuters blissfully unaware of social distancing on their journeys in and out of the city. These works sit alongside a newer body of ceramic sculptures that playfully hint at feelings of deflation and anxiety in our forever changed world.

In other news, if you happen to be looking for a fun activity to pass the time in isolation, here's a reminder that I recently made a drawing video with the National Gallery of Victoria that's available to watch on youtube.
And in exciting news this video has recently been playing on the big screen at Federation Square, a big thanks to the great artist Haley Millar Baker for taking this pic.

Thanks so much for reading, hope you have a nice week and hope to see you soon!
