2010 FISHER'S GHOST ART AWARD - Campbelltown Arts Centre, 1 Art Gallery Rd, Campbelltown - October-November 2010

I had a work accepted into the 2010 Fisher's Ghost Award - 'Small Round Cube'.  It was a prototype for a large round cube that I later constructed - stay tuned for that!...

It has a diameter of about 65cm and is constructed from small cardboard cubes, painted in acrylics and tied together with wool.  I originally made it for the Woollahra Small Sculpture prize - but they didn't like it...

My work was a tall cube - 3 cubes wide and 9 cubes tall - about the dimension of (a rather large and chunky) person. Each side consisted of cubes of a particular colour - a red side, blue side, yellow side, green side...  The materials are acrylic paint on cardboard with yarn, dimensions 166cm x 55cm x 55cm.

DECORATING LOOS - At The Vanishing Point, 565 King St Newtown - 3-20 June 2010

'Decorating Loos' was an exhibition curated by Georgie Pollard and the Marrickville Art Lab under the ATVP Emerging Curators Mentorship Program.  Fifteen toilet cubicles were built in the gallery with each artist creating their work within their own cubicle.

The title refered to both the architect Adolf Loos (most widely known for his essay 'Ornament and Crime') and to the everyday practice of drawing on toilet walls...

I lined the space with an assortment of crocheted stripes, completed with a small stool (no pun intended....really...) from which to contemplate the arrangement.
