Today from 3pm- 7pm and Sat 12-2pm we’ll be @myceliumstudios basement. Loved the space which reminded me of an underground car park. I’ve been out at @normworkshop doing some welding for this. The shape of the work is like a tower building I work opposite where I’ve seen residents having to move away or to nearby areas. I thought about having sound or sensor lighting to be like a few remaining homes being occupied, but decided just to have something quiet, to represent absence. All 44 public housing towers in Victoria are due to be demolished and no one spoke to the residents who live there before it was announced. Happy to be working with other @vca_mcm people in this show, come along if you can make it! @rebeccageorgeart @leonbowers @msjulietjones @itsallartandmonsters @warrenlee_art @optical_clutter @jonharrisart @arjang_rz_studio @natalie.sculpture @rebeccajonesart @d_a_m_c_h_o @sankar_nadeson

This week I’ve been installing a photography exhibition at Fitzroy Library, based on the same themes of Occupy, Invest, Develop, but this required only cycling and walking to set up and no heavy lifting or utes! It’ll be on from 29 Jan to 26 April 2026 at Fitzroy library, close to one of my favourite pubs @napierhotelfitzroy . Thanks to Grace @yarracityarts and the ever friendly team at @yarralibraries
