Searching for Arbley Trilder

A new piece just completed - childhood dreams and memories.

New piece - work in progress

Here is a new piece I am still working on - this piece is called 'Searching for Arbley Trilder' - a foray into a child's nightmare (mine), and as such, a highly personal piece.

Fabulous News!

I am proud to announce that my 'Redivivus' entry won the Inaugural Bricolage Design Prize announced on June 5th (World Environment Day). I was thrilled with the win, and was able to share my elation with all four of my grandchildren who were there with me, along with Anna, my son's gorgeous partner. The information about the dolls I made as my entry can be found elsewhere on this page.

Lisa Singh has just presented me with the award.

Newspaper Article by Gill Vowles

Sunday Tasmanian journalist, Gill Vowles, visited me last week and wrote an article for the Sunday Tasmanian. Chris Kidd took the photos. I am pleased with what Gill wrote as she managed to convey well what I wanted to get across. Here is a picture of the article as it appeared in the paper. Gill saw one of my pieces posted on http://www.tasmaniantimes.com/ and requested to do the piece as a result. (Thanks Lindsay!) The other image is an oil painting entitled "Tangled Garden"

New piece completed

This new piece of sculpture was finished literally hours ago. It is a bit disturbing, but that was my intention. I call this piece "Why?"

Invocation: Leila's Song #1

This is a one-of-a-kind piece I made a few years ago. The quality of the image leaves a bit to be desired, but I still like the piece, so I decided to put it up.

"Revenge of Gaia" - finished!

This piece is a distillation of some of the feelings of anger I have at the way we as a species are treating our planet. I'm also hinting at what I believe are some of the inevitable consequences of our actions/lack of action.
