projects

awhile ago i mentioned a little contribution i made to the loved and lost society. as a lovely evolving project, the next phase is now underway with installations in place at milly sleeping and since grey. there are specially made 'collection' boxes for people to drop lost objects into, and each box comes paired with a small artwork. for those of you who can't make it in, this was my contribution - a pair of customised gloves - made especially for bowerbirds who love to collect things on their travels.

i believe at the moment you will also be able to view one of gracia and louise's artworks as well. if you haven't seen their work before, you'll be in for a treat.

secondly, this year's state of design program has been released and i am very, very happy to be included in an open studio exhibition running this year. for four days, a few of us will set up studio and work in the exhibition buildings. there's such a great line up of makers/designers - of note is nicholas jones whose work i have admired for years and i am incredibly flattered and somewhat amazed to be included. the design: made: trade event will be running in the same building so it's going to be crazy (if you are interested, the design files usually has very good coverage of what's going on).  it's 'trade only' the first two days (but look into this, all you need to do is register your place of work) and then it's open house on the weekend. it's certainly going to be an amazing experience and i hope melbournites will come down and say hello.
