Red Ball - Inspirations

Discovered Kurt Perschke Red Ball Project which is completely great.  I also thought his interview was really interesting about his process and that of being an artist.

RedBall Project is a global art project by Kurt Perschke that exists as a series of temporary installations in a city over a few weeks. The work has taken place in places such as Barcelona, Taipei, Chicago, Toronto, and England among others. This film was created by the artist, who was later smart enough to get pro friends to help. So its early and rough, it literally is 'actions', or reactions.


As I consider could I install some of my work outside this man takes that idea to the maximum,  taking the inspiration to another level.  He talks about how sculpture wants to make you touch the work and feel it and that is something I think that is a really big compliment but how do you tackle that when you work isn't really built to withstand it?

Looking forward to it coming to England in Summer.

60 from 250? more about the work

This work is a long term project researching into the languages that were spoken in Australia before invasion and colonisation, as part of my overall study of what it means to be a white non indigenous Australian.  How many languages were spoken in Australia? How many languages are left? What does language mean anyway?

Updated my thoughts on my research on my website.

Exhibition - 60 from 250?

Thanks to Jenny Thorburn my current work 60 from 250? had an opportunity to be shown in a textiles exhibition in Upstairs Gallery Berkhamsted, England. It is still so new to me to show my work and so always exciting to share something with the world and just see if there is any reaction.


3 vessels were shown on a plinth which somehow really worked. Now I can't wait to have the growing work shown as more vessels are complete.  Having some work in a gallery was a great start to my year and I hope it is a sign of things to come.
