Marsupial Astronomical Star Chart - ACDC Lane

New wallpaper design applied to this lovely doorway in ACDC Lane/Duckboard Lane - prior to this I had a complete door "Imagination Outside of Capitalism" which was removed to make way for this spectacular glass door. Here is a google maps link to the old piece.

'Misanthrope' - Port Jackson Press Gallery 14th - 30th August

'Misanthrope' - Shrine Door 1 & 2

Below is a brief run down on my new show at Port Jackson Press Print Gallery, it features my street/installation paste up/ephemera work based around my totems commonly seen through out the Melbourne CBD and other out of the way places and suburbs. 

The work has been created with a detritus theme that gives the work an appearance of something ancient and shrine like a beautiful juxtaposition with the detritus and waste often found in a great deal of the works. We will be having a Meet The Artist session this Saturday the 22nd from 2-4pm so feel free to drop in and have a look around, it is a great show and also features LazerFish and Shane Sterry, with some fab window installations to accompany the body of work. Hope to see you on Saturday. The show runs till 30th August and Port Jackson opening hours can be found here.

Totem Language

  

The contempt the human race holds for nature is evident in the failing landscapes around us. 

With the loss of the ancient totem system in Australia, which once brought specialised management by individuals and groups who acted more like stewards.

This management did not necessarily transform the landscape so to speak. Instead it would re-energise and disperse elements abundantly necessary to enable a particular totem to flourish.

As this was enacted on a country wide scale this in turn encouraged bio-diversity and the symbiotic relationship required to manage the fragile Australian landscape, responsibly and very effectively.

This language has nearly vanished.

The Rapanui Effect - ADi

A new installation I put up in Tattersalls Lane opposite Section 8.
"The Rapanui Effect" consists of paste up and other found objects I have collected along the way, hopefully it lasts a while without people pulling it apart...

Some pics of the weekends paste up myself and Shane Sterry put up in Hosier Lane incorporating yet another William Temple Hornaday totem design and his crazy characters.

Poetry by Infinity

Infinity collaborated with me during the "William Temple Hornaday" installation at Hosier Lane a couple of weeks back, here is a link to some of her poetry which is truly beautiful:

Drew Funk - Black Linings - No Vacancy Gallery

Black Linings - Drew Funk... This Thursday opening at No Vacancy QV is Drew Funks - Black Linings, this is a not to be missed show, trust me when I say this as I have seen the whole thing come together in the studio. Drew and I went and got this piece from a collector yesterday as it was the first of the series but was sold quite some time ago, the collector was kind enough to loan it for the show as it marks the transition of Drews work. These larger pieces are really quite something to view as they are large, detailed and complex. The piece pictured here is a fish made up of little dragon fish, crazy shit!
