Close-up of new elbow layout. I like this change a LOT, it allows for full range of motion without looking too gangly.
A sculpture that will be in my show PROSCENIUM MACHINIUM at Gallery 9, 9 Darley street, Darlinghurst, Sydney. Opening August 2 at 6.
This is in my studio, in wollongong.
For TR, because he inspired it...I just don't have the inspiration or drive to finish it.
The idea was to create a submarine with the ability to deploy an aquatic-capable mobile suit. It more or less can do this, and has the rough shape I want, but I kind of lost interest and want to build something else. Maybe I will return to it one day...
After four hard months of a total rebuild and extension I am now in possession of a studio. This is still a storage area pending decoration, and as I have to complete a four foot hanging in the next two days I am forced to work in a very tiny area in part of this room.
I have shown here my pin board with my "tapestry" attached to it. I am trying to position the daisy and the bottom border here. Lots more work to do!
This scavenger hunt will be linked through twitter. These NL taps will be hidden throughout Northern Liberties, hints will be given each day for a week. The first person to find it will receive an open bar at participating NoLibs bars.
Working on an update to the Ape Soldier. Changed the older Hasbro clunky body out for a Super articulated GI Joe fireman bod. The fireman gloves make for good Ape glove replacements. Used the Ursus head and threads. Still have some sewing to do. Had to rip a seam to get the clothes off. Just a bit more I'll have the Ape Soldier I've always wanted. This will keep my d@mn dirty paws off the newer premium pricey Apes, too!
One of the rarest flowers in England. In fact so rare it has its own 20 foot by 40 foot cage for protection and visits to see the flower are by permit only and accompanied by the warden and arranged through the Wildlife Trust. The route into the flower was so overgrown and complicated (maybe deliberately so) that I'm not sure I could ever find it again anyway. It was also difficult to photograph given how far away the cage made us and several people in the group (30 people altogether) only had relatively short focal length macro lenses which would have meant a very small flower in their images. Not the greatest photograph but included for rarity value.
Acrylic on Board
Work in Progress
Background still needs work and the odd bit of tweaking. Almost there
Stage three.
I've coated part of the canvas with gesso, mixed with some tea.
Thankfully the sun is still out, although there are ominous clouds.
I love the way that the shadows of the flower stems stand out against the background.
About 60% complete.

Nothing is quite like the start of a major piece.
I have laid down the base for a new suffrage work, and as I try to use the textile techniques which would have been familiar to the women of that era, I have decided to incorporate knitting and finger crochet.
The base of the work is a 2 foot square canvas which I have covered with a patchwork of hand dyed blanket pieces in shades of blue/green/yellow.
On top of this I am creating a random surface of finger crochet and knitting in both wool and fabric.
This shows the section where I have used wool.
It is a work in progress and as I am in free fall with this one, who knows where it is going!
