Residency at Central Greenough Western Australia, 22 September 2014 - 20 October 2014.

While in residence at Central Greenough, guests from the Geraldton community were invited to share a meal prepared by the artist. Each table was set with a paper tablecloth, and markers provided. In total, 24 meals were served to guests over 28 nights.

Thanks to the City of Greater Geraldton and the National Trust for their support of the Central Greenough artist residency, and their assistance in completion of the artwork.

Members of the Liverpool community were invited to walk through Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, and have a conversation about the artworks on display as part of the exhibition Subject to Ruin. These conversations were recorded in audio format, which the artist then edited to create an audio-tour of the exhibition, with commentary of the artworks by local residents.

Most of volunteers involved had never been to Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre prior to the making of this artwork. The only requirements were that participants are at least 18 years old, and live, study or work in the Liverpool area.

In four groups across three days from 26 – 28 May 2014, each group met in the foyer, and spent approximately one hour walking through the galleries. Groups varied in number between 5 and 17, and a total of 48 people engaged in the making of this work.

The room has been sealed off with clear plastic and a wooden false wall, quarantining the installation, but still open to viewers. Inside are five fans and approximately 3500 litres of styrofoam beans. The fans generate a snow-dome effect; a blizzard of white beans.

Shown as part of Smokescreen, a joint exhibition with Jeremy Eaton at TCB Art Inc.

Moana Project Space

View the catalogue and survey results here.

A week-long inquiry was administered to the public within the busy thoroughfare of the Hay Street Mall. In questionnaire form, participants were asked about their views on contemporary art, and their opinions of different art forms; an attempt to understand what it is the people of Perth think about, or want from, contemporary art. The research based residency culminated in an installation at Moana Project Space and a publication that were both directly informed by the statistical data collated in the preceding weeks.

The Communication Project is an experiment crossing the borders of art, performance, collaboration and research. The project operates through a workshop format. During the workshops, up to nine unvetted volunteers work with the artist to decide upon a message in response to the theme "a message to the world today", and then to create an artwork which communicates their message. The project is constantly evolving in response to the successes (and failures) of the workshops.

For the month of August 2013 the Communication Project was in action at Top Shelf Gallery, Melbourne. Workshops were open to the public, at no cost, with seven workshops available each week over Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each workshop lasted for one hour, with refreshments offered at the end. For the outcome please refer to the blog.

For the exhibition at Light & Wire, workshops were conducted on Skype, as one-on-one conversations between the artist and a participant. The resulting messages were exhibited online at Light & Wire, 28 May - 19 June 2013.

An archive of the online exhibition is available at Light & Wire Gallery.
