Save the date 💥 my solo show ‘Dirty Work’ opens May 21 with opening drinks Saturday May 30th (all welcome, I will be there) at @michaelreid.northernbeaches in Newport, NSW. DM for a preview catalogue.
A couple months ago, as a present to myself for my 40th birthday, I flew to Sydney to learn from a craftsman I greatly respect and look up to.
This is the piece I made over an intense 4 days under the guidance of @lynesandco
12, 18 and 23 carat gold, acid etched, various blended gilds, along with some abalone and pearl shell, with finger blended enamels thrown in for good measure.
This was one of, if not the best thing I have ever done for myself. Meeting and learning from Will has inspired me to keep pushing, and striving to be the best I can be at this craft I love so dearly. The guy really is a master at this thing, all while being so humble and genuine. It felt like two mates just hanging out making cool shit together.
Very grateful for the people gilding and sign painting has brought in to my life.
Love this shit.
Always hand paint.

The Last Weekend
Transience comes down Monday afternoon.
I’ll be at the Piazza Friday–Monday, 11–2pm but happy to come in earlier or stay later if you’d like to stop by and check it out.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has come through, sent messages about the work, or become one of the beautiful new collectors taking a piece home. I really appreciate you all and can’t wait to see more of you in the space over the weekend.
With the @fremantlestreetartsfestival there’s plenty happening @iandaniell.art will have doors open, @not.random.magazines is well worth a visit, and @shaydedesoleil will be open too… because I clearly need a new pair of sunnies (you’ll see why soon)

Vale Ada 🥹
approx 2012-2026
Just over a week ago we lost our beautiful girl, Ada and it has been so strange without her around. The house feels so empty and I'm still picking up the kids left overs and beginning to walk to the door 🙈
So many memories...grateful we photographed her before my last exhibition thanks @raquelarand.a ❤️❤️❤️
RIP beautiful girl 😘😘😘

LONDON BABY
I started this series about 12 months ago, kind of by accident. Then @jessicaalice_design messaged me asking if she could take these frames for a house in London and I was honestly blown away. So happy to finally share photos of Transience appearing on walls.

Frames 1 and 4 were shot by the amazing @sarahbuttonphoto for @rosieburtonarchitect
Here’s to more art finding its forever homes in ’26 🤍
