Currently working on some composition for my show at Blue Oyster Gallery in Dunedin!
Upcoming
New studio/workshop
The new studio/workshop is finally taking shape. The original building was a milking shed constructed around the 1920′s and at about 50 square meters will be a vast improvement on my current space.
Internal Framework for Observable Reality
In the book Timaeus, Plato presents the idea that the Universe was created to resemble a geometric progression; triangles form Platonic solids and the basic building blocks of the universe.
“a description of what is changeless, fixed and clearly intelligible will be changeless and fixed, while a description of what changes and is likely, will also change and be just likely. As being is to becoming, so is truth to belief. Therefore, in a description of the physical world, one should not look for anything more than a likely story”.
