machine made : June 2012

http://machinemadebyhand.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 14, 2012. Here are some long overdue updates from my past year of making. In August 2011 I travelled to Canberra to complete a 6 week residency at the Canberra Glassworks. I did heaps of tests, concentrating on murrine, cold assembly (glueing), and coldworking in general. I also couldn't help myself from building some jazzy trios, as I often do. These teal forms were a hit. And, somehow, I managed to put together another solo show in a neat little gallery at Urban Cow Studio in downtown Ad...

machine made : Topping up on Canadia

http://machinemadebyhand.blogspot.com/2013/01/topping-up-on-canadia.html

Monday, January 21, 2013. Topping up on Canadia. I went to Canada over the holidays. It was revitalising. My parents place is spotted with glassworks ranging from my very first blobs to these more recent sculptural blobs which were shipped back for an exhibition a couple years ago. In Adelaide, backyard BBQ's are common but its a pain to keep any amount of ice from melting on a hot summer night. Conversley, in Calgary ice is easy to achieve yet BBQ'z in -20,.not so much.

machine made : throwbacks, things that fit, and chair porn

http://machinemadebyhand.blogspot.com/2013/04/throwbacks-things-that-fit-and-chair.html

Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Throwbacks, things that fit, and chair porn. I asked my parents to send over some old photos to help settle my nostalgic brain. Lately i have been trying to recollect my early life and consider my early influences. Thanks for that, dad. These are some things I made the other day. A little run of spectrum paperweights. Recent commission of bowls. I also helped set up the next show which was the JamFactory 40th anniversary exhibition. Go find out. its like origami made of wood.

Tuesday, April 5, 2011. A pickle under a palm tree! These are a set of Tangent Bottles that were Machine Made By Hand for the Generate exhibition in Dec. 2010. alabaster with clear, grey with black, clear with white. Momz' really likes these and it looks like they might go back to Canada after all! This is by far the coolest thing we own. Our most recent art acquisition, a thing by Tom Moore. I can't take the chance of spoiling the surprise. I'll post them at the end of the month. :(. An early interest i...

machine made : June 2010

http://machinemadebyhand.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Monday, June 28, 2010. I have about 6 months left in my associate position at the jam glass studio. I am both excited and upset at this fact. It has been such a sweet run but it will be nice to interrupt this break-neck pace and start focusing on some particular things i want to do in glass and in life. For now, check out these snaps of my current designs/compositions/objects. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Transparency. Group exhibition @ Gallery 1 Ja...

machine made : March 2011

http://machinemadebyhand.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 17, 2011. Today I set up the show, finally! Nothing broke and the work is all shined up and locked under glass cases. Looks swish, I reckon. There are only six collections which I initially thought was too few but the work is well spaced out and I figure that is better than a cramped cluster fuck. y' know? This piece is titled 'Tangy'-Simply driven by its ultra offensive citrus colour, lemon yellow, It's the punchiest set of the bunch. I will post some photos from the opening next week.

machine made : drunking in style

http://machinemadebyhand.blogspot.com/2012/10/drunking-in-style.html

Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Blingin' cups for an excellent get drunk experience. I like me some wines or ciders in the round cup and a tall G n T in the other. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). An early interest in graffiti and graphic design has influenced my work. Significantly. Specifically, the act of stylising and composing bits of language, to create a personal emblem, has always been a method I use to make artworks. Transparency. Group exhibition @ Gallery 1 Jamfactory, Adelaide.
