‘The Sunken city’

In 2012 I had a solo show at The Front called The Sunken City. It contained dreamlike objects encrusted with coral and other aquatic embellishments.

There were some  larger scale sculptures, like Coral Treasure and the Coral Mirror. Coral is a fascinating organism, it is a bioindicator of environmental change and such an intriguing mixture of plant,  animal and mineral.

‘Ten’

A Celebratory Exhibition.

In 2005 it was ten years since I graduated from the ceramics department at the (then) Canberra School of Art. TEN YEARS as a practicing artist! So I had this solo show at the Legislative Assembly to mark the occasion.  The themes of transformation, identity and sense of place were explored. There were Touchstones, large boulders with words engraved in them. Large, figurative sculptures of mermaids and animal/human combinations. A mirror with a hundred bindies and various ceramic lanterns placed around the space.

Torrens Primary mosaic table

In October 2013 I won an Artist’s in Schools grant to develop and deliver an art project with a local school. Working with the students of Torren’s Primary we came up with a design for a mosaic table top covered with features of the city we live in- seen and imagined!

All classes were involved and worked on different aspects; the trees, animals, roads and roundabouts, buildings and landscapes

You could spend a lot of time looking at this table, the detail is amazing and as most of the tiles are made by children there is more imagination per square inch then your everyday public art work…
