In Exhibition

For anyone who might be thinking of heading out to The York Mill Gallery, here's a little sneak peak for you. There's a lovely little cafe with great food and coffee and two more rooms for viewing various artwork and hand-crafts. 

Initially inspired by a photograph named "Old Morgan Road", the exhibition "Land" includes a range of colour and monochrome images. Each image has a close connection to our beautiful land, whether it be our sunburnt expanses or the wet top end. 

A big thank you to all those people who made the trip out for our unofficial opening on Sunday. It was a great afternoon enjoyed by all. The project has been a big undertaking with countless hours spent photographing, framing, and preparing artwork. It's also one that couldn't have gone ahead without the help and support of my wife Emily. 

Open for viewing throughout March, 2014.

Exhibition - 1 Day!


When I was a kid, I remember the anticipation of waiting for prints to return in the mail from my little box camera. It was a pleasure that has never ceased to disappoint. Even now, there is always something very special about seeing printed works for the first time and experiencing that little tingle in the spine as I look at the physical images for the first time. My hope is that you experience even just a fraction of this as you explore the exhibition. 

This all gets kicked off tomorrow at The York Mill Gallery in the scenic town of York. Things are shaping up very nicely and I'm quite excited to see it coming together. The exhibition will be held in the boiler room gallery at the mill from the 5th to the 30th of March. 

There will be 15 pieces on display, all of which have been printed using archival inks and high quality photographic materials. Of these, 11 are framed limited and open edition prints. I know you will enjoy seeing the pieces of art as they are all looking fantastic. There has been a great deal of work contributed to each piece and I'm now pretty happy with how it is all looking.

There are plenty of other attractions in the district including a stop-over at the beautiful Lake Leschenaultia, sky-diving, museums, and other art galleries. Finally, finding The York Mill will be easy with its distinctive brick architecture at 10 Henrietta St. 

Enjoy!
