'Small feet big boots' Window 99 show, June 2011.

The installation for my show 'Small feet big boots' went off without a hitch & the opening on Saturday was wonderful! Thanks to everyone that came & has a glass of mulled wine with me! The show runs until the 2nd July, so if you couldn't make the opening there is still time to go & have a peek. Here's some documentation of the installation:

Scott Weaver, 35 years, 100,000 toothpicks..

Scott Weaver is insane...in a good way! Over the past 35 years he has been building a giant model of San Francisco out of toothpicks: something you have to see to understand the effort involved.

Weekend in the country.

We've just spent a beautiful weekend in Jindera visiting my family and it really does make me miss living in the country. I don't think I could live near Albury again though, it's just not me.. Any suggestions on some creative country places to move? I know Castlemaine and Daylesford are supposed to be lovely, but any others? Here's some pics from the trip:

Dolan Geiman

Dolan Geiman has only recently been introduced to me, and he does some pretty interesting work using salvaged materials. He currently resides in Chicago and his work is inspired by rural America. His site looks great too, with an abundance of images to peruse..
