An Opportunity to Work on Pink Squadron

I have just found out that my application for a residency at Ragdale near Chicago was successful. I will be spending a month there next year and hope to work on Pink Squadron while I'm there.

Workshop with Students from Dulwich High School

During my stay at Bundanon students from Dulwich High School visited my studio and made some stackers which became part of the installation 'ghetto'.
More images from the visit.

Collaboration with the students of Dulwich Hill Creative Arts High School

Ghetto is now a collaborative work after the students from Dulwich Hill visited my studio today and made lots of stackers to add to my work. I hope to find more opportunities to collaborate and install the work in the future.
