SILICEOUS 2023 - finalist

MAKERS/BREAKERS jan - feb 2025

sawtooth gallery, launceston

this joint exhibition will be a playful diorama of organic and whimsical story telling where new life forms dwell as one species, presenting in a variety of physical forms. the work is primarily ceramic, incorporating hay, pebbles, yarn and sticks. wandering through and around the structures and characters, our visitors are as giants, interventionists, moving above the height of clouds, surveying a civilisation that they are able to interact with or upon to be forces of creation or destruction or concurrently both, recognising that the acts of making and breaking are inherent to the human condition.

THE CURIOUS NOVICE july - sept 2024 noosa regional gallery

“The Curious Novice examines the artist’s connection to their work- the anticipation, wonder, and joy that comes with the firing of each piece- and culminates in the final presentation to the recipient. Through exploring the notion that ceramics represents more than mere objects, The Curious Novice dives into the metaphysical connection between the artist, the medium, the object, the recipient, and the user.” - Noosa Regional Gallery

group show featuring works by dennis forshaw, claudia de salvo, angus mcdiarmid, anwen thomas, pimparat tantisukarom, and laura cope.
