Worth it's weight in golden gaytime

Hello, hope you're having a bubble'O brilliant day! In exciting news, my Melted Bubble'O sculpture is installed on the facade of the Bendigo Art Gallery!

This facade is part of the new exhibition titled Australiana: Designing a Nation, curated by Emma Busowsky and open now!


For the exhibition I've created a new series of 100 ceramic ice-creams. 

This nostalgic series evokes childhood memories and suspends in time that fleeting moment of anticipation between unwrapping your ice-cream and taking the first bite.

Australiana: Designing a Nation is fully wheelchair accessible and open every day from 10am to 5pm, now until June 25th. Bendigo Art Gallery is located on the traditional land of the Dja Dja Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation, and I'd like to pay my respect to their Elders, past and present, who've been creating art on this land for tens of thousands of years.

I'm so pleased to share as well that my work in the show was mentioned by director of the NGV Tony Elwood in a recent article published in The Age about 'exhibitions not to be missed'. To read the article click here!


The exhibition was also featured in a recent article in The Guardian by writer Jenny Valentish, which you can read by clicking here!

It was also featured in the 5 o'clock WIN News, which you can watch by clicking here.


In other exciting news, my piece The World's Gone Pear Shaped was featured in the list of things collectors should know in the latest issue of Art Collector!

Huge thanks to Emma Finneran for the pear-ticularly wonderful article.



In other news, I recently had a short piece of my writing published in the Jan/Feb issue of Art Guide Australia. For the issue Art Guide invited five artists to consider a formative work that was made and exhibited in an artist-run space, and reflect on how it's informed their practise. 

Huge thanks to the editor Tiarney Miekus for the opportunity. You can read the piece by clicking here!

And finally, in very exciting news I'm thrilled to share that I have a new series of work included in the upcoming exhibition 
Melbourne Now that opens this Friday March 24th at the National Gallery of Victoria!
