Group exhibition: Peculiar Compendiums at Gaffa .  "Peculiar Compendiums is a collective meditation on the peculiarities and oddities which enrich our existence on this strange blue planet. Drawing inspiration from natural history and anthropological studies, the individual works aim to ignite an array of emotions and reactions, evoking a sense of wonder and intrigue similar to 18th century cabinets of curiosity, with a contemporary twist.    The contributing artists have engaged with themes ranging from social behaviour and our changing engagement with the physicality of the human body to meditations on the unexpected encounters of the everyday, whilst others chose to explore the mysterious phenomena of the natural world and sinister aggregations of unclear origin. Through the diverse disciplines of installation, sculpture and drawing, Peculiar Compendiums brings together a collection of works, which themselves become exquisite specimens of the human experience...

Just an update to let you know that works for 2013 can now be found on the website. Enjoy! >>  Red Journey 2013

These two works are being showed at Saatchi & Saatchi at The Rocks with 11 hons and master students from National Art School till July. The drawing 'Breaking through 2013', ink with rice paper. The sculpture 'Red journey 2012', made with 4 piece of 500 years old jarrah wood from Western Australia and red string. American artist Agnes Martin had once said,'..the most important things are the most simple, powerful thing, that's what she try to show in her art,'. She also said,' .....simplicity is never simple. It's the hardest thing to achieve.....'. I enjoy the simplicity of these two works!
