Is there anything in this world that can't be graphically abstracted? sandstone cliffs around Anglesea right on The Great Ocean Road, in Australia. I guess the thing that surprised me was the variety of rock formations within a 2km stretch of coast but then again I never looked that closely before.
As a parting remark by a college principle, I was told that he would look forward to the day that he saw my work hanging in MoMA. As such, I wasn’t quite sure how to take the remark. Was it final and long overdue gatekeeper validation of my clear artistic genius, or a form of mild mocking, better placed in a high school playground of false hope? I'll leave it up for you to decide. If you do actually see any of this stuff at MoMA in the future, my apologies in advance.

Figure and Ground series
A study of sorts in figure and ground (both literally and metaphorically) out the back of the MFB Burnley station. Shot all in camera no layering in Photoshop invovled.
I've walked past this scene coming back from the burnley bouldering wall many times over the last couple of years but just kept putting off. story of my life but I got there in the end and came away with some interesting results.
I think beauty can be found in the places that are often overlooked, it's just a matter of taking the time to look around and notice it, case in point.

Constructed Ruins series
To create, you have to destroy, or something like that, or maybe the creation is in the destruction? The construction site of Hamer Hall, part of the Victorian Arts Centre [link].
This was shot a few years back. Once again, only now got around to posting it up now.

Portal series
Once again on a meta-art trip, this time with Andrew Rogers [link] Unfurling, located in the docklands precinct of Melbourne, Australia.
At some stage I'll have to put together a book of all the sculpture I've shot down there if I can ever be bothered.
