As we move into 2021, i’ve taken time to update this portfolio site with many of the projects that I managed to complete in the last year. A lot of these were not initially planned, as we got hit with the big changes of 2020 a lot of my proposed projects, films and exhibitions were cancelled. For a while there, I really lost my mojo, unsure of where to channel my efforts.
Thus, I turned my attention homewards to Western Australia and worked on more local projects. The pace picked up throughout the year and once we reached momentum - I had hardly any time to reflect or record any of those projects!
And come the start of this year, i’ve been exhausted, but I decided before the machine cranks up again, best to reflect on what I created and collaborated on in 2020 - and I realise its amazing what actually transpired last year with the lockdowns and undue negative effects on the entertainment and arts industries. I’m lucky to be able to say i’ve done much at all. Huge gratitude to everyone who came in and out of my creative projects last year, we are truly blessed!
I’ve just added new pages for some of the projects that came to fruition last year including:
Stelarc - Reclining Stickman - A new project I worked in assistance to Stelarc - a massive 6 meter tall robot at the Art Gallery of South Australia
Vic Park Projection Fest 2020 - A curation of local video projection artists painting Albany Highway in light - hopefully the first of many installments!

May we continue to grow in these creative communities and stay strong and connected in this new year.
