Some works started on an ephemeral medium and developed into permanent sculptures. They’re all tightly related to their landscape.

Stainless Steel 5.5m x 6.4m x 0.3m
Selfish places the viewer at the pointy end of the fishing line. The oversized hook plays with the scale and the breathtaking ocean views, as if keen to Jag a human or two, circling around, hungry for 'the perfect selfie'.
Collaboration with Cristian Rojas in the exhibit until the 7th of November.

Sculpture by the Sea Bondi 2011
Powder-coated steel 5.2m x 1.4m x 0.8m
Private Collection Melbourne, Australia
Created in collaboration with Sydney-based Artist Clary Akon
Halfway between Bondi and Tamarama Beach, there is a crevice running through the centre of a large sandstone rock. Our work comprised the fabrication and installation of a 5.2 M steel nail, giving the appearance of splitting the rock in two. The work aims to establish a dynamic relationship between the landscape, viewer and artwork. The way in which we perceive reality is largely dependent on how we decide to focus our attention. When the scale of something familiar to us is radically altered it forces us to reconsider certain aspects in our life that we take for granted. Without the nail, a passer-by would not normally notice a crack in a rock. However, in noticing the nail, the passer-by also notices the crack and therefore becomes integral to the artwork. The viewer completes the action by making the cognitive leap that the nail is splitting the rock.

South Eveleigh, Sydney, 2019
Built at the Eveleigh Railway Workshops from steel and recycled hardwood, the two drop-like Treehouses are covered in thousands of forged steel gum leaves made on-site by hundreds of volunteers during community workshops led by Eveleigh Works. Situated on the traditional land of the Gadigal people, Eveleigh Treehouse is conceived as a site of belonging for adults and children alike, a retreat from the bustle of daily life.

Phosphor Bronze 24m X 2m
Watsons Bay Baths, 2011
Sydney - Australia
Collaboration with Sydney-based Artist Clary Akon
Tidescape is an underwater freeze comprising laser-cut phosphor bronze silhouettes of seaweed and darting schools of fish, being chased by a cormorant. Bolted underneath the South facing Boardwalk at Watsons Bay baths, the work expresses the sense of wonderment a child can feel whilst exploring the underwater shallows with mask and snorkel. The work can be viewed from both above and below water. Environmental influencers such as the ebb and flow of tides, the growth of barnacles and seaweed upon the sculpture and constant oxidization of the bronze; combine to gently inspire a sense of timelessness
