I'm not sure when I will return with new work at this stage. But, with Australia beginning to show signs of returning to a sense of normal, anything is possible.
More than anything I want to stand by the efforts I have made as Environude and encourage people to change the way they think about nudity.

Fallingwater's living room's northwest corner contains a dining alcove with a built-in dining table and credenza. The wooden dining room table, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939, uses the lighter lines of sapwood as a design element, bookmatching the flitches to create highlights. Additional tables folded into the adjacent buffet can more than double the 78½" length. The set of chairs at the dining table, late 19th century wooden Italian peasant chairs, were purchased by Mrs. Kaufman at a second hand shop in Florence. Wright had wanted to use his more formal Barrel Chair, but the family felt these rustic three-legged hand-carved chairs would evoke more of a casual charm appropriate for a mountain retreat.
Fallingwater, sometimes referred to as the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence or just the Kaufmann Residence, located within a 5,100-acre nature reserve 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built between 1936 and 1939. Built over a 30-foot flowing waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the house served as a vacation retreat for the Kaufmann family including patriarch, Edgar Kaufmann Sr., was a successful Pittsburgh businessman and president of Kaufmann's Department Store, and his son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who studied architecture briefly under Wright. Wright collaborated with staff engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters on the structural design, and assigned his apprentice, Robert Mosher, as his permanent on-site representative throughout construction. Despite frequent conflicts between Wright, Kaufmann, and the construction contractor, the home and guesthouse were finally constructed at a cost of $155,000.
Fallingwater was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. It was listed among the Smithsonian's 28 Places to See Before You Die. In a 1991 poll of members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), it was voted "the best all-time work of American architecture." In 2007, Fallingwater was ranked #29 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.

Titled Excursion, this portrait of Edgar Kaufmann Sr., hanging in Fallingwater's living room, was painted by Austrian-born American painter, Victor Hammer in 1929. Executed in egg tempera and oil, the portrait depicts Kaufmann as a confident outdoorsman, clutching a walking stick. Liliane Kaufmann commissioned this portrait from Hammer, whom she met in London, and it was exhibited in the 1930 Carnegie International.
