One cold night in Woolloongabba

EPIFICUS has been installed into its permanent location on Ipswich Road, Woolloongabba (Morrisey Streel Bridge) as of Friday night. The stair tower to which the work is attached is due to be open to the public after the 26th of June.





























There were a few small complications due to a very tight fit. A 4 hour scheduled installation took 6 & 1/2 hours but this was not entirely unexpected. Special thanks to Col & Chris from Mulherin Rigging and Cranes for their patience, care & ingenuity.

EPIFICUS 2007-09

After almost two years of planning and many revisions due to budget constraints EPIFICUS is finally on the way.
Rocklea Pressed Metal are once again manufacturing the work.
EPIFICUS consists of 433 + pieces of 316 stainless steel, laser cut, folded and welded to form a folding tubular 'vine' with a perforated skin.
It is scheduled to be installed at the end of this month.
The work will attach to the outside of the pedestrian stair tower that forms part of the Morrisey Street Bridge at the Woolloongabba entrance of the North South Bypass Tunnel.

Secreted away, within the cavernous entrance of the Northbridge Building a new work has been slowly growing out of the wall.

Once, Again is a culmination of the hard work of many people.

Field of Vision pt2

Alongside the large relief in gallery 2 the exhibition continues in gallery 1 with 5 stainless steel mesh sculptures. The notion of field can be interpreted as literally a vast plain, as a subject of enquiry or occupation, a theory of bodies in space, or a mathematical equation. Visual and physical phenomenon are my primary fields of occupation. These new wire works are the evidence of my experience and experimentation within that field. Experience influences structure, structure influences form, material influences structure, the environment influences appearance...etc. Continuing with the notion of architectural scale, these works relate to the human body (a dimension of architecture), the scale of the works and space they occupy heightening awareness of the viewers scale in relation to the work and that of the architecture in which they are housed. They are almost inhabitable but inaccessible due to their closed structure. all works are 2009
