As a thought experiment during my MFA I proposed to complete the ‘7000 Eichen’ social sculpture project begun in 1984 in Sydney. Beuys was ill with cancer and Rene Block began the project with the planting of one tree and one stele in the forecourt of the Art Gallery of […]

28 September 2018 Good to be entering competitions again. I had been away from the easel for a bit following my MFA, tidying up various projects and without studio space. Feeling the need to mess with paint again I rented a studio in The Nest, which has since moved from […]
13 November 2016 Part of the Kandos School of Cultural Adaptation’s “Hemp Initiative”, a hempcrete wall is built on a property facing Angus Avenue, Kandos. It functions as a symbolic gateway to Kandos and a monument to the role Cementa will play now and in the future.
