A first experimental attempt at Astro-landscape photography.

Met a friendly and photogenic adolescent duck while walking by the river.

BØN541 v3.0 is the third in my BØN541 series, exploring the form of bonsai trees, using recycled & salvaged materials.

This work was created to be a setpiece for the 2018 staging of Rent, the musical, by Matt Ward Entertainment, at QPAC Brisbane. It is the largest work I’ve produced so far, and is constructed primarily from corrugated plastic water pipe, which is suspended using the truss and chain from my 2012 work Reconfigure.

An experiment with trying a Little Planet using a very short depth of field, so that only the dead centre is in hard focus. Like a lot of artistic experiments, it’s a bit of a failure, that teaches towards success. What it demonstrates to me is that it’s the crispness of everything at the “horizon” of the image that gives Little Planet projections their special appeal.

Didn’t really get much of a feeling for the ferocity of the storm that hit last night, the tail end of Tropical Cyclone Debbie, but going for a wander down to the river this afternoon, and clearly, we copped a fair wallop.
