I'll be showing some new paper sculpture works in this show, if you are in Australia you can go have a look.


 



















 Introducing the highly anticipated A4 Paper Festival - an event unique to Sydney, Australia and solely dedicated to the uses of print and paper. It will offer audiences insight in contemporary developments with paper, by means of groundbreaking exhibitions, lectures and workshops.

Hosted from 31 May to 5 June at The Paper Mill & with elements of the event to be held at Sydney ‘spotlights’, including Object Gallery, Surry Hills & The University of Sydney (Design + Architecture building); this week-long festival will highlight the diverse creative applications of paper and attempt to influence public perception of how we utilise paper in its everyday form. We will engage the community to contribute to an installation themed ‘public intervention’.
