Selected Exhibitions
I have been a regular exhibitor at numerous
esteemed public art events. Indoor installations have
been on shown in galleries such as the 'Object
Gallery', at the alternative Christmas 'Tree' show
in Sydney, the Design Institute in Amsterdam and
the Parson University in New York. There are
also several works in private collections.
2008 Susurrus. Helen Lempriere National Sculpture
Award 2008
On first impressions, this sculpture appears as a curious and
oversized device. On closer inspection, listening to the
soundscape, it's function becomes clear: to record and translate
the energy of its immediate surroundings that is secreted in the
rustling of the leaves (susurrus). Softly spoken voices tell
secrets, spread rumours and provide facts interlaced with
complimentary sound contributions.
2007 Telltales.
Presenting a series of mixed
media works (including time based and new media)
at Caloundra Regional Gallery recounting 20 years
of extensive travel adventures; capturing the
essence of each journey in a light hearted manner.
2004 Interactive Sound Sculpture_Soul Revival
at ‘Tactile Art’_Object Gallery, Sydney.
Interactive sound installation for the 'Out of
sight' show. Soundedits replay the historical usage
of the site. Tactile pavers guide the visitor to
the five listening spots.
2004 Casuarina Beach Sculpture Walk_ Puff
(very small beach houses)_Tweed Shire
Inspired by the local architecture, the wind and
the story of ‘the 3 little pigs’.
Three 'architecturally and environmentally
sustainable' miniature ‘beach houses’.
Each house is made from one material; straw, timber
& stone.
2004 Montalto Sculpture prize _ What’s the
Catch, Redhill VIC
Addressing environmental awareness. The rods
signify an important feature of both history
(rich water life) and the present (leisure). The
fish bodies (fronds) slowly disintegrate exposing
the fish bones (s/steel) referring to the
irreversible alteration of the ecosystem.
2003 Spend More X-Mas @ Home, 5 x-Mas trees
from re-used materials for show; TREE
Reacting against the consumption society we live
in. Instead of creating more new products
these X-mas trees are made from products commonly
found in and around the house. The
opening night was enlivened by participation from
the visitors in creating the ‘VB-tree’, all
freshly drunk empty beer cans were included.
2003 Kelp tree dresses _ Mixed Media
(re-used) _ Sculpture by the Sea _ Sydney.
A kinetic temporary installation of five stylized
giant kelp trees. Flexible membranes, gently
swaying, mimicking underwater currents, interacting
with the wind and man. The installation’s
moods changed with the weather slow when still,
dramatic when windy.
