Geometries Geometries’ brings together works that dazzle the eyes with colour and form. Using deceptively simple strategies — structuring relationships between the most elementary components of shape, scale and relative sequencing, for the most part described in pure, flat and vibrant colours — the artists behind these arrangements excel in creating mesmerising optical effects. Contemporary in their lively … Read More
Returning to Bangkok at the end of June, I was lucky to join a group for a few days up in northern Thailand visiting Hill Tribe schools one of which was up in the high country in a remote village surrounded by thick Forrest.

Crucially, I also spent time working with Adam Tremellen at JMAR Engineering in Shepparton, to make a small, to-scale section of the red and green sculptures (see … Read More
I am continuing with my experimental drawings with a view to a 3 dimensional sculptural piece made up of two dimensional planes. The red and green colour squares are to show how each two dimensional plane might interact with the other. You can see, in the first image, how the two planes could overlap. The individual drawings are … Read More

The exhibition at Gallery H, Bankok runs until October. I have visited it each time and whenever I go I am still excited to see the sculptural piece and how it constantly changes within the space.

How many lines and how much negative space can I have without compromising the physical intergrity of the piece. My intention is for it to be strong and fairly rigid, so the steel plate from which … Read More
