New UK Stockist: CultureLabel

I'm pleased to share that I now have a UK stockist! CultureLabel invited me to open a shopfront with them a few weeks ago! I was quite excited about this because some of the best art galleries and museums in the UK also have online stores with CultureLabel including the Tate, the V&A, Saatchi Gallery etc. Good company!

To celebrate, I have released a brand new print with CultureLabel, called Sunset Over Mountains (pictured below). This print is not available anywhere else.

All of my prints with CultureLabel are 30x30 cm square and printed on lustre photographic paper.

Sunset Over Mountains, 2010

Golden Half, Petri, XA-2

New photos on my Flickr taken with the Golden Half (a new favourite, glad I finally took it out of the packet 3 years after buying it in Japan!). Also some film that I double exposed with the Petri rangefinder and the Olympus XA-2. (I double exposed it because I thought the Petri was broken and figured I'd have some fun with it on the chance that some of the shots had worked).

Other news: my exhibition at the Queensland Centre for Photography opens this Saturday afternoon! I'm flying to Brisbane for the opening. Fortunately the lovely staff of QCP will install the show for me so that I don't need to take time off work.

And I have other great news, I have been accepted to exhibit at KINGS Ari in November this year. I've started working on a whole new body of work for the show. It's fantastic knowing from the start what space I will be showing in as I can keep that in mind when I'm thinking about objects and scale.

I made a stereo pinhole camera

Today Kristen helped me make a stereo pinhole camera from a kit I bought in Japan in 2009. I can't wait to use it (although I will have to wait - the weather today is not nice). Slideshow above of the work in progress, featuring a special appearance by our cat Cooper.

The camera has two settings, either panorama, which will expose one shot across two full 35 mm frames via the central lens, or stereo, which exposes two shots at the same time side by side using the two lenses on the left and right. When you view the resulting prints with the stereo viewer (which you also build from the kit) they are sort of 3D. Hehe. So cute.

It's definitely the sturdiest pinhole camera in my collection now because it is made from plastic. It also has a more stable and clever shutter release. I am hopeful this will take really great shots!

I'll post as soon as I have something to show.

New Year Projects

My friends and I agree that 2011 is the year of doing. Taking everything we do further. Pushing ourselves to take risks and seek out new opportunities.

So, no time like the present to post a little update on my goals and projects for 2011!

Thus far I have completed a logo design commission for a Melbourne-based artist run record label and applied for an artist residency in Dayton, Ohio.

This year I really want to participate in an overseas artist residency to further my professional practice. I am also applying for a residency in Singapore.

My list of things to do has so many applications on it - applications for exhibitions, art prizes, residencies and grants. I think I am getting better at writing these things!

And most importantly I want to complete a new body of work! I have a fairly good idea of what I am going to do, and am going to get started today.

Now in fact!

Arena Magazine

My Souvenir series has been published as a photo essay in the current issue of Arena Magazine.

Thanks go to Roger from NO NO GALLERY for connecting me with Arena, and the magazine itself for supporting my work!

Iceberg in my Shop

I've added this collage from the Souvenir series to my Etsy shop as a small 8 x 8 inch print. Quite a few people at my exhibition told me they really like it (which is always nice to hear!).

View the print on Etsy.

Orders placed before 13 December will definitely be delivered pre-Christmas within Australia. Overseas orders, and purchases after 13 December are at your own risk! But I will do my best :)
