concrete waves, leaves, dark & light

I took this photo yesterday afternoon on St Kilda Road here in Melbourne. The light is starting to mellow out and the cooler mornings mean that Autumn is nearly here. I love the contrasts here between the 'soothing' waves of concrete, the leaves, the light...

Autumn rose

Yeah I know its a bit corny...but how about that delicate transition from pale cool yellow, to frosty sweet pink, and that slight wind and angular light..I just couldn't resist! I took it with my phone camera (quality isn't great) yesterday in Preston. Poignant and sweet...

Self-Preservation

I've taken the whole 'Diamond 'n Rust' range, as well as the 'Lemurian' pieces into Self-Preservation in the city. At present this is really the only place where people can see current work, unless they visit me in my studio. This display is what was there before the current stock arrived today. Its such a beautiful place, the coffee is delicious, and Anitsa and Lina are wonderful. I am happy to have my work there...

diamonds 'n rust series continues

Ok, I still haven't got this series out of my system. I just love the old brass chain, which is quite dull and grungy, with those glimmers of the vintage fire-polished coppery glass beads shining through. This piece is big big and wild. It is nearly jumping off my bench at the moment, it'll either wear somebody, or end up abseiling the Rialto. Anyway..its great to be making things on this level again. I will also make some smaller sort of ones, for those who love this, but say things like: "I love it, but don't have anywhere to wear it to...." (happens all the time! My answer is usually: "build it and they will come")

rose light

I want the scent of this pink pink rose to be captured. As I walked past, its scented tendrils, seductively allowed me to zoom in close. I have taken the license to digitally augment it..Autumn in Melbourne is so wonderful, the roses are like great fecund juicy cabbage heads, sweetly and deeply scented...mmmmmmmm....
