Moving studios

After 6 years at the JamFactory - two as an associate and 4 as a tenant - I have finally moved out. Packing up all the stuff I have accumulated was the worst, where did it all come from, though I hardly threw anything away, (its all necessary).


This is my new studio in a group workshop with some furniture makers. Still setting up a few things but I think it is coming along nicely.
Now for some work........

Room for Growth

Some more images of the show from the other gals here and here.

Install Shots

Jae Rhim Lee: My mushroom burial suit | Video on TED.com

Here's a powerful provocation from artist Jae Rhim Lee. Can we commit our bodies to a cleaner, greener Earth, even after death? Naturally -- using a special burial suit seeded with pollution-gobbling mushrooms. Yes, this just might be the strangest TEDTalk you'll ever see ...

Are we underestimating the humble mushroom......

Small Tools

Some good friends of mine gave me these small tools the other day. They are about 150mm in length. So far I have stripped them of the paint, patinated them and burnt the handles black. Still working on what to put on them but even by themselves they are pretty cute!

More pieces for the show in November

Cast elements in silver with paper green leaves. Blu tac very handy



Now the leaves are made with glass. No blu tac....

Green Spiky Spade

Another piece for the show. Made from copper which I have patinated with copper nitrate.
