Utopian Slumps book!

2011-10-21T12:59:00.000+11:00

Check out the beautiful new book "Utopian Slumps: The Collingwood Years" an archive of the exhibitions from 2007-2009 at the original Utopian Slumps Gallery. A sweet coffee table read. With some nice shots of 'Swans 'n' Ammo'. It should be noted here that Brendan Finn, of folded bird photography, was not credited as the photographer of my paintings, that info must have got lost in the layout (you can really easily tell which photos he took and which ones I took!) . Sorry Brendan.

Sitting in Monga, staring at the trees and the ants keep running over my blank page, so I chase them with the paintbrush, scurrying away from the brush then turning back to investigate the puddles of ink, halting my brush and causing greater puddles to accumulate, tiny rivers and islands.

I will be exhibiting new work at Platform gallery which is in the Degraves Street Subway next to Flinders Street Station. Other artists concurrently exhibiting include Abby Storey, photographer, and Victoria Lees, with her installation "fixity' (check out Victoria's blog on the links at the right). The exhibition opens 9th July at 6pm, and runs until the 31st. Check out www.platform.org.au for more info about the space.

Remember when a mother’s love was enough to keep you safe at night? In an attempt to re-arm the military for less collateral damage I have made the soft shelled tank. These saggy, ineffectual toy tanks gently mock the authority of the military world. I have created the hackytank, a crocheted chariot of war that fits into the palm of your hand and can be kicked around anytime you feel the urge, (it is filled with chickpeas, so could also be boiled and eaten on the battlefield). This is my contribution to the war machine.

This is an invitation to a show curated by Kirrily Hammond, the assistant curator at Monash Univerity Museum of Art. It should be really interesting so if you feel like going for a drive, please come and check it out. I'll post up the catalogue when I get a copy. The work of mine which is part of the show is 'White Flag (Normandie)'. It was previously exhibited in France, but never here so I'm very happy. I'm especially pleased to be exhibited alongside the late, great, Neil Roberts.

Like a tank armoured with a patchwork of riveted steel these flabby war machines are made by sewing together small pieces of randomly shaped fabric. The resulting objects are at times perverse, disfigured and ungainly. the addition of impractical wheels and flaccid guns heighten their absurdity.
