All Shapes and sizes

Hi, hope you're having a nice day!

Here's a photo of my artwork titled 
Tomatoes. This piece was featured in my recent solo show at MARS Gallery, and is now hanging in its wonderful new home. It's always so special getting to see where my works end up.

To accompany the exhibition, I was recently invited to come to Sydney to give a talk about my work at Western Sydney Uni. Huge thanks to the exhibition curator Margaret Hancock for organising the event, and to all the students who came along to hear me speak. Here's a couple of photos from the day.

The other exhibition I'd love to share with you is titled Dusk of Nations, on now until December 14 at the UQ Art Museum in the University of Queensland. 

My work in this show is titled Every Kind of Shape, it's a series I made in 2019 in which I made a ceramic sculpture of every flavour of Arnott's Shapes that was available at the time.

Dusk of Nations is an exhibition that looks at ideas around identity and nationhood, and how these concepts are defended and maintained, resisted and subverted.
