Artist Statement:
I have a Master of Fine Arts
from the Cranbrook Academy of
Art, Bloomfield Hills,
Michigan. I also studied two
years of architecture at UNSW
while working as an
architectural assistant in the
late Harry Seidler’s office. I
switched over to fine arts and
have exhibited drawings in
Sydney, Paris and Detroit.
It is a rather surreal
experience working in
decommissioned sites such as
in the bowels of White Bay
Power Station, the Carlton
Brewery and Cockatoo Island
where I work alone surrounded
by the ghosts of thousands of
workers. My more lyrical,
meditative work is extruded
from the preceding obsessive
documentation of the sites.
For some years I have observed
with fascination the curious,
albeit purposeful movements of
orange and lime-clad men at
various construction sites
around Sydney, including the
Walsh Bay Wharf complex and
the Woolloomooloo M5
Expressway. Some operate huge
machines resembling toys from
afar, some work at dizzy
heights on heaven-bound cranes
and a few, black and
seal-like, descend into the
murky depths of the Harbour.
Danger lurks everywhere and
each workman is dependent on
the responsible action of his
fellows. ...
