Aspects of Syncretism

I'm Back!

After a huge move and travel I'm now settled in with a new studio setup in Melbourne Australia.

As I mentioned in my last blog, id been drawing my way around South East Asia. Next week I'll be exhibiting this work in a solo show at Eyeball Kicks Gallery in Wellington NZ.
The show is titled 'Aspects of Syncretism' and inspired by the eclectic religions, mythology and theology that I was exposed to during my travels.. Oh by the way...

Sycnretism = the attempted reconciliation or union of different or opposing principles, practices, or parties, as inphilosophy or religion.

The show will be made up of original framed ink drawings, prints, and plushies and all in Black and white.

The night will kick of at 7pm on Friday the 28th of June at 177 Cuba street. I hope to see you there!

NZ School Journal

Earlier this year I did the illustrations for a story in one of the NZ school journals. These are the books that all the kids have to read at school as part of their curriculum.
The story basically goes like this...... The kids parents go away for the weekend, the creepy old lady neighbor comes to babysit, she makes a massive feed for herself then turns into a cocoon, then the kids kill her with bug spray.
I'm still unsure about the educational message in this story, but nice to see the times are changing as the stories and pictures were ALOT different when I was kid ;)

The Emporium Opening

Last Friday was the opening of the Emporium show. Thanks to all who came out and supported the show. I was pretty pleased at how my pieces looked all set up as it was the first time I got to see it in it's entirety. I think the shelf was actually my favorite thing I made ;)

The show will run for another 3 weeks so if you're around Berlin..I think it's well worth popping in for a look. Here are a few pics of the space. There's more pic of the opening over on my Facebook. 

Anyway, moving on and straight back into work. I'll be releasing 3 new limited Edition giclee prints at the beginning of July. The sculpture work has been taking up a lot of my time so it's been really nice to get drawing again. I'll post a preview soon ;)
