"Intersections is intended to be experienced in its entirety as a single work, as opposed to a group show or a conglomerate of disparate works."  CLICK HERE for a full exposition of the exhibition.

SMALL WORKS FOR A LARGE UNIVERSE - Index, 60 Hutchison St, St Peters - February 4-19, 2011

'Small Works for a Large Universe' included the work of about 19 artists.

From the Index website -

 An exhi­bi­tion of small art­works in our large project space as an exam­i­na­tion of the effects and sig­nif­i­cance of rel­a­tive scale on the mean­ing and pres­ence of the art­work and a reflec­tion upon our own place in a uni­verse so much larger than ourselves.

There is a great selection of photos of the show on the Index website -  CLICK HERE  - as well as a video of the show by Ariel Riveros.

I exhibited a single painted cardboard cube strung up by wool from the rafters.

ROOM CUBED - Factory 49, 49 Shepherd St, Marrickville - 6-17 October 2010

'Room Cubed' was my solo exhibition at Factory 49 in 2010.  It was a large cube construction that you could walk into.  The 'walls' and 'roof' were held up by a central pillar and the whole structure was tied off to points around the room.

Room Cubed - Press ReleaseIt looks like a room within a room, like architecture. It has walls and doorways and a roof. You can walk within and throughout it.

But it has no real structural integrity. It is only cardboard, paint and yarn. The colourful flimsy boxes are only tied together with brightly coloured scraps of wool. The cubes balance on top of each other and are tied off to the gallery walls to ensure that the entire structure does not collapse – it is only art after all.

‘ROOM CUBED’ is a continuation of Kate Mackay’s ‘CUBE’ constructions, where recycled cardboard boxes are painted and tied together in random colour combinations. The nature of the materials allows for the creation of large sculptural pieces from small, easily managed components.

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  I originally made it for the Woollahra Small Sculpture prize - but they didn't like it...
