    Whitewall Art Projects Gallery

    I am thrilled to have my latest work featured in a celebratory inaugural exhibition at the stunning new premises for Whitewall Art Projects Gallery. Curated and managed by artist and dealer Thomas Bucich, the gallery’s new space at Shop 2/13 Old Hume Highway in historic Berrima provides a magnificent, light-filled architectural frame for contemporary art.…

  • Fort Scratchley Sculpture Show 2024

    Fort Scratchley Sculpture Show 2024

    Exhibiting outdoor works at the historic Fort Scratchley Sculpture Show in Newcastle, New South Wales, presents a spectacular, raw dialogue between heavy sculptural form and the elements. Standing high on the headland, the site is defined by its sweeping maritime horizons, weathered military stone, and unpredictable coastal winds. Installing work in an environment like this…

  • Field Trip: Hiroshima and Kyoto 2016

    Field Trip: Hiroshima and Kyoto 2016

    Traveling through the contrasting landscapes of Hiroshima and Kyoto offers a profound lesson in cultural resilience and intentionality. In Hiroshima, you are confronted with a city that has meticulously rebuilt itself around the memory of absolute devastation, transforming a scar into a living testament to peace and human endurance. Moving from that heavy, historical gravity…

  • Field Trip: New Mexico Studio 2019

    Field Trip: New Mexico Studio 2019

    While traveling through the vast, stark landscapes of New Mexico, I made a deliberate pilgrimage to Los Alamos—the isolated, secretive mesa where the atomic bomb was first designed and built. Following that chilling historical thread, I journeyed deeper into the desert to the Trinity Site, the exact, silent coordinate where the world’s first nuclear detonation…

  • Field Trip: Nagasaki (2019)

    Field Trip: Nagasaki (2019)

    There is a strange, paradoxical freedom to working inside another anonymous hotel room studio. Surrounded by sterile walls, generic furniture, and the quiet hum of a strange city, the space forces a complete stripping away of the familiar comforts and clutter of my permanent workspace. In this environment, the act of creation becomes entirely portable,…

    Japan Studio 2019 Higashiyoshino, Yoshino-Gun, Kotsugawa

    I was lucky enough to have the use of a quiet, rural studio just outside of Nara to work on the foundational paintings for my 2020 exhibition, 101 Views of the Anthropocene. The space belonged to Kuniko and Kazu, arriving as an absolute sanctuary of isolation right when I needed it most. I traveled down…

  • On The Edge of A Beautiful World

    These works were painted from field trips to salt lakes at two locations: the Murray-Sunset Park, in Northwestern Victoria, Country of the Latji Latji, Ngintait and Nyeri Nyeri Peoples; and the Yorke Peninsular in South Australia, land of the Adjahdura People. The salt lakes represent the extremities of experience. For me, they connect to life’s…

  • Pink Lakes and Blue Skies

    These paintings on canvas and on paper are a meditation on the harsh beauty of pink salt lakes and of the volatile wonder of blue sky. All works have concern for the future and hold within them the past: yet they are also about ‘being’ in its pure form, appreciating and accepting the present, and…
