Beams Festival 2013
The Beams Festival held in Chippendale Sydney, last night was a wonderful night of illuminations, art, music, food, wine, performance and workshops. In its second year the Festival organised by the Chippendale Creative Precinct brings together a diverse group of creatives for a one night festival of all things bright. The local streets were closed down and visitors wandered amongst contemporary art installations and enjoyed a meal at the 50 metre communal table. The feature of the table this year was whismically decorated candle lights supplied by Studio Artes a supported studio for adults living with disability. They were jewel like, glowing treasures that were definitely the high light of the night.
I was lucky enough to have my work “Breathe” hovering above the communal table. “Breathe” is a photographic work on georgette with embroidery detail that evokes meditative states.

Irish Landscapes
I was going through my photographs from my recent research trip to Europe – I had forgotten how amazing the Irish landscape is. Here in Australia we never experience the intensity of the Irish green. These photographs are a couple of my favourites and are sure to end up in my next body of work. I have not manipulated them or adjusted the colour at all! The green is almost lurid, but so refreshing on the eye. Ireland is definitely one place that I plan to revisit soon.
