These works are constructions using found timbers and recycled offcuts from various sources. The subject matter is the natural world, but also its interaction with people and the built environment. Living on the NSW Northcoast I feel inextricably linked with the natural world – whether it is flood, fire, erosion from storm surges, drought, or just the prevalence of wild life, farm animals, waterfalls, bush, canefields, mountains, rivers and lakes. These works might feel whimsical – but really they are about taking whimsy seriously, trying to pay attention to the things that may not feel so important, but are probably the most important
