Guthrak
A long gestation project, Guthrak, recently came to life as a 4.5m miniature world, a place for storytelling with intricate carvings and the worlds of orcs, humans, elves and gods. This project will go on tour across regional South Australia soon.

Watch this space!
I am really looking forward to digging into the worlds and interests of young people to design a festival also. It’s going to be huge and a real delight to inspire and entertain our precious young folk.
I also make furniture and objects. My current furniture project is called hang, and is an artful set of flat-pack stools that hang on your wall. I have a million personal projects in sketchbooks and in different phases of realisation. One is called The Spaces in Between and starts with a gazillion images I've taken of cracks, and particularly moss growing in the cracks of concrete or bitumen. It’s finding beauty in the flaws, but also about taking ground and thriving.
I am always keen to consider how accessibility can be built into design and I am part of a conceptual project called O-Ki that really interrogates this idea.
