Beginning again, after long break...

Hi Folks,

It's been absolutely ages since I posted on this blog and that's because I took up an art residency in the Neuroscience Department of St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne in August. I have to date created a number of artworks, namely drawings, digital microscopic photographs of insects and small material sculptures including Jacaranda seed pods, which I covered in imitation gold leaf and placed in two Perspex containers and twenty-three Avocado seeds, which I've peeled and placed into a wooden box. Does't sound like much, but I'e also had lengthy conversations with the Head of Research, which broach on Philosophy rather than Art and Science; but hey, he's a scientist and I'm interested in science fiction and there is a beautiful blend there. Below is one of the insect images that have been either cropped or color changed. Hope that you enjoy it. Oh, one of my drawings from last year has been selected for Connected 2019 exhibition, which will be held in the Atrium, Federation Square in December.
