Lorne Sculpture Biennale
To be held in March 2014, the artists have been announced and I'm very honoured to be part of this diverse sculpture event.
Artists List:
http://www.lornesculpture.com/2014Artists.html
I'm playing with the concept of Reclaim in the Park, using the natural shape of fallen tree branches, with their sensuous curves, contrasted with the human crafted form through reworked antique and remnant crocheted pieces as part of the Sculpturescape works. I've recently experimented with replicating these pieces in Albert Park Lake and looking to extend this at the Lorne Sculpture Biennale.

Lighthouse Art Auction 2011
In 2011, I donated a piece of art to the Lighthouse Auction. The overall event helped to raise more than $50,000 for the Lighthouse Foundation who aim to end youth homelessness in Australia.
The piece ended up winning the Communications Council's Youngblood's award and was auctioned raising $1800 for the cause.
The piece was the first in a series to be known as Ponder the Hoody and inspired me to refine the technique much further.
The piece and I can be viewed at:
