F___ YOUR DONATION showcases five artists who have emerged from a craft based medium into an engaged sculptural, installation and performative practice which is socially engaging, politically charged and medium non-specific.

Three of my new Refuge Nests made while travelling between China, Turkey and Australia will be included in this show along with six photographs that reflect the mood and context of each place the nests were constructed. The process of making these works was experimental because I have not knitted or used photography in an exhibition before. I hope it works!

Check out these links. The exhibition is a satellite event of Craft Victoria's Craft Cubed Festival.

Selected International artists are invited to the site of Cappadocia's famous rock formations to make artwork for ten days. At the end of the workshop the donated artworks will tour Turkey and the world in the exhibition Cultural Languages of Cappadocia.

I was invited to present a paper titled The Strangeness of Objects that addresses the concepts behind my arts practice. A variety of International speakers are participating in this event. 

Shelf Life Series (1/6) was recently selected for exhibition during the ICMEA (International Ceramic Magazine Editors Association) conference. The conference involved ten days of seminars, exhibitions and excursions to potteries within China. All sixty nine  ceramic objects selected from around the world are now a part of the permanent collection housed in the Fuping Pottery Village Gallery, China.
