This is the moment we have been waiting for and so without furry rabbits in the paddock we are now ready....
Big thanks goes out to all those who have worked on the collaboration.

This is a video that was compiled by me and shot by the students.  The origin of the work came froman inspirational piece of art by Nicholas Alquin.  The drawings initially were a deconstruction from the woodcarving then later changed to the new language which is a dialog of drawing ..searching for meaning between shapes and objects which tell a story, that is the narrative.  The Juggler is a work about balance and syncopation.  The whirligig component symbolises the sun and planets and is a talking point for the future of energy.

The drawings are stepping stones to The Juggler and is permanently installed on the grounds of the school.
SCAIP in Nambour is going to show my work and the new piece of sculpture is on its way...stay tuned

I just recently found this from Stephen Cornford http://vimeo.com/7362421

Paper works Mail Art send me your address!

This is envelopes mailing out to old friends as I have done since 1989 since being emersed in mail art and Mr .Ray Johnston or is it Johnson, I forget, they are a source of inspiration for the new works horizontal horizon.



"The Juggler" is on my website see gallery 2
Fire in the hands of gods...we (the artists) have the power to transform mountains into empires of humility.





I have initiated the first steps to the end of the world.  No the beginning of the end... no it is truly the first steps to "In the studio with the artist"  This video is the making of "the juggler" and has music to accompany it.  This is Burnside State High School on the Sunshine Coast in Australia.  The sculpture is installed at the library in a courtyard and has moving parts; a whirligig and a bearing at the top for the magnifying glass that spins and twists.

There are also drawings of the process that I did to demonstrate the changing and adjusting of the creative process.  These drawings are a result of looking at an artist's work and deconstructing it and developing "our new language"
