2011 has turned out to be one of the most rewarding years of my professional career, I have had one hundred and ninety two images collected by the Northern Territory Library, the Weekend Australian Newspaper have published four images with accompanying stories in the Heart of The Nation section of their Weekend magazine, three stories from the Northern Territory and one from Western Australia. In August I had a sell-out exhibition at the Art Warehouse in Darwin featuring a series of images created in Litchfield National Park.
I have also been given the opportunity to exhibit some of my new imagery made during the past six months working with Darwin’s Long Grass community. The venue chosen for this show is the CSIRO Discovery Centre in Canberra, the exhibition will be held between the 28th June / 15th July 2012.
I’m currently preparing myself for the next leg of my journey, which will take me into the desert of South Australia, during this time I will be building a body of work for the State Library of South Australia in such places as Coober Pedy, Oodnadatta and Marree. I also intend to work my way up to the APY Lands in the far North Western corner of the state so as to be able to work with the Indigenous art cultures who are producing some of the countries best Indigenous art works.
After this I’m planning to move back into the Territory for the dry season where I will continue to make images for the archives of the Northern Territory Library.
