Have finally got a chance to upload photos of my rats and mice at the Carbon Black exhibition. Most works have appeared in previously in this blog however it was good to see them in a new space and they seemed to sit well amongst works exploring gritty industrial urbanism. This show finished a few weeks ago but the gallery focuses on interesting work by emerging artists and is worth a visit.
Special thanks to all who attended on Wednesday night and to Daniel Barfoot for these excellent crowd photos.
Some overall photos of the exhibition. (They look a little blurry small. They are much much clearer if you click on them.)
I’ll post some pics of last nights opening in the next few days.
Beware
The giant lizards are about to rumble…
Crocodiles fight dragons in a battle to the death.
The prehistoric hero of the river takes on the mythical beast of the sky in a spell-binding, nail-biting bout of fire and water.
These scaly reptiles are both threatening and tamed. In the guise of innocent pull-along toys, swinging pendulums and flying mobiles there is an air of menace. With the glint of evil, a sudden jump and snap, someone could lose an arm.
The exhibition is on June 15 – July 2, 2011 at Red Gallery North Fitzroy. Opening drinks Wed 15th June, from 6 – 8pm.
Almost ready for my new show.
Studies for new piece.
Heads to go with the winged bodies.
Hopefully there will be some finished dragons in the next day or so.
The crocodiles are ready and fighting, the clouds are puffier than ever… now for some dragons.
If you are in Melbourne on Wed 15th June, come along to the opening.

Gone are ideas of spiders, bitey insects and meat-eating plants. Instead it is lizards all the way. More pics soon.
A trio of angry snapping crocodiles.
First works fully finished for my June show at Red Gallery.
Making a start on works for a new show at Red Gallery in June.
Am looking at wasps and mosquitos, spiders, crocs and trogan cats, plus venus fly traps and pitcher plants. Really a collection of scary flora and fauna that might attack you in your backyard.
off the kerb gallery (on Johnson St, opposite the tote) is about to celebrate its 4th birthday with a group exhbition. Included will be handful of my spinning ‘say it with flowers‘ and ‘mice in love‘ disks.
Opening night: 6 – 9pm Fri 1st April. Exhibiton closes Fri 22nd April.
The exhibition is called ‘Pirate Existence’ and concentrates on works utilising salvaged and found material. Artists have been asked to turn discard refuse and abandoned items into treasure.
I have just completed my kinetic crocodile piece. Five hungry crocs chasing each others tails. The disk is wall mounted and the crocs spin the waterlilies. As they spin they flip back and forth and their jaw snap open and close.
