The ballroom in its opulence and space. Height above our hearts gives room to move.

finding jellyfish

some jellyfish inspired experiments for the design of the launch of VOID LOVE at the Speigletent.

The event was quite the pink bollywood bonanza, featuring video, live links, the Bombay Royale, Jess Cornelius and the one and only Kamahl. And suitably sold out!

Void Love

There is an exciting new art being made by Willoh S Weiland and Nicky Forster called Void Love. They've been in residency working with the Astrophysics department at Swinburne University and the product will be an amazing soap opera dealing with the big bang, dark matter and all things cosmology-like. It stars the one and only Kamahl, some pale people and body parts. Very Fun!

True Live "Something To Be"

I did the art direction and location scouting for this clip recently, directed by Dan Koerner and produced by Virginia Kay. It was filmed at an old textile factory and we had a tonne of recycled water brought in for the big splash scene.
Check it out here.

Some interesting spaces I looked at while location scouting for an upcoming clip.

Pentouse Mouse 09

Penthouse Mouse delivered a new program of fashion/art events during the fashion festival. Set in the old roller-skating rink, now derelict, that I, incidently, had my 7th birthday party at...



Some great art pieces amongst the fashionista's, including a ride-on drawing machine, and these great cut objects by Robbie Rowlands.



On-the-side fashion-in-black at the mid mouse runway show, featuring some great designers. Must say, watching those watching was just as interesting to me. It's a weird thing, runway shows, with everyone pulling their pout and waiting to be snapped up, nonchalantly, as the next big thing. It does permeate though, even I felt the every-second oscillation from feeling fabulous to awkward and spent. ha ha

Nat Thomas goes to hell

Nat's exploding exhibition at Hell Gallery, with the sounds of Slocombes Pussy and a packed courtyard of boozed up bodies in bunny ears.

The back streets. A tournament. Scraped elbows and beer breath. Wonderful.
