Documenting ‘Hearts and Arrows’
I recently photographed Liesl Pfeffer‘s Hearts and Arrows in situ at Kings ARI. Below are some of the works which are currently available at Edition X.
Images and mobile telephones 2011 – a retrospective
I had started writing a long winded reflection on 2011, discussing the Arts Vic residency, subsequent role and everything else, but Blog posts should be short and sweet! So in that vein, here’s a selection of images made in 2011 with my mobile phone (both captured and processed). An interesting and new way of making [...]
Coranderrk – We will show the country
I was excited to team up with Ilbijerri to produce the imagery for ‘Coranderrk, We Will Show The Country‘. A hectic day’s shooting led to some quite iconic material, aided by the talented designer Matthew Harrod of HOBO design. In this post are some examples of ‘straight’ images and some others as they have been [...]

That guy from Blue Heelers, the guy from Secret Life and the girl from Neighbours.

Around July of this year, Brains was born of Derek Jnr and Pound to then adopted by Bernie. As a pup, Brains contracted both Parvo and Pneumonia and became quite sick.

South East to Alice on the Tanami
Recently, I got out of Balgo accompanying two young men and my boss to present at the 2010 Desert Mob Symposium in Alice Springs. It’s not part of my job to produce my own work (and if I do – there are limitations), yet this trip still gave some opportunity to shoot a little. I [...]
27th Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA)

What a great time to be there; the NATSIAA’s are happening as is the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair as part of the Darwin Festival… not forgetting to mention Darwin’s great weather! After manning Warlayirti’s stall at the Art Fair, [...]
The Pound
On a recent Sunday in Balgo, Terry, Bernie and I went for a Sunday outing at the edge of ‘The Pound’, just out of Balgo. The Pound was once an inland sea and contains a number of culturally significant sites. It feels quite special there with the abundance of space and sometimes, howl of the Dingo. [...]
Mulan Community
About 40km’s to the West from Balgo is the Mulan Community. Like a little sister of Balgo, Mulan has only a population of about 150 yet has a Primary School, Community Store, Clinic and small Art Centre. Apparently Mulan was initially established as a base for a Cattle Station. Like others in the area, mustering [...]

Three weeks in Balgo and they said I wouldn’t last! Not finding too much time to work on this new site and the mob here are keeping me quite busy but this post is a good opportunity in the least to share some of Balgo through images. You might notice there are not (what could [...]
