The Pod is Growing!

For the past couple of days I have been kicking about in my hometown, Denmark. It is pretty easy to be overcome with lethargy and not do a lot in Denmark. But finally over the past couple of days I have mustered up a bit of motivation and started working on a large scale public artwork with my dad. The pods are growing at a rapid scale. The piece is about 2 meters in diameter.... and the new scale and material thickness is posing lots of new challenging problems.

You will be able to view the finished product at the Melville Sculpture walk, which opens on March the 11th 2010.

I have also been sussing out sacrificial anodes, to prevent the piece from rusting in an outdoor environment. The Lipinski's recent purchase of ' The Pod' is the first piece to use the experimental sacrificial anode... hopefully it stops the piece of rusting away.

Young People and the Arts Fellowship

The other day I got some dam fine news. I was awarded a Department of Culture and the Arts Young People and the Arts Fellowship. This means I will be heading across to Europe for three months to work with Tejo Remy a renowned found object furniture maker/ designer. On the way to Utrecht in the Netherlands I will go and visit the 2011 Milan Furniture fair.

It’s pretty exciting to finally have the opportunity to head to Europe and expand my design horizons.

Escape the Heat

There is 6 days to go for you to view the Tread Lightly Exhibition at Howard Park Winery. This could be a reasonable enough reason to escape the heat of Perth and trundle down to Denmark.

The exhibition opening went really well down here. I think growing up down in Denmark, people have a genuine interest in seeing how your work has changed over the past few years. There are lots of creative people in Denmark who fostered my interest in the arts from the outset. It has been nice to come back home and give back to the town that was so encouraging from the outset.
