On April 8th is the opening of 'Underfoot,Overhead' where I will be part of a group show being shown in the project space at Object in Sydney. I will be putting in one of my installation pieces.

Bilk

On the Friday after my show opened at Craft ACT, Johannes Kuhnen had a show open at their new gallery space Bilk. Its a great little space situated at Manuka, ACT.



Johannes kindly gave me a tour of workshop bilk. He has a great set up there and I also had a look at the workshop at ANU where he teaches. It has been changed a bit since I was last there a few years ago but enough benches to accomodate 30 students....
