select solo shows:
tiles, tiles lewisham, sydney, 2026
- centred around 24 oil on plywood paintings whose compositions started from marks in the wood grain. these were presented on a shelf from my studio, against a plywood wall put in the gallery for the duration of the show, which had 2 peep holes cut out with a view to my studio. also in the show was a printed canvas (wikipedia page for tiles), a terracotta sculpture (punning on literal translation of terracotta = baked earth), a wall painting, and a new zealand flax plant (same name but unrelated to the european flax plant that gives us linseed oil that is used in oil paints).
interstellar space, nasha, sydney, 2025
- used the planets in our solar system as the starting points for a series of large scale abstract paintings. the exhibition had these 8 paintings (mercury-neptune), three more paintings (pluto, interstellar, space), an installation using mirrors and the gallery's columns (moons), and a short text (laws of planetary motion).
garden machine, arts3331 chiyoda, tokyo, 2023
- cellular automata were used for the compositions for a series of paintings. the formula for each painting's cellular automata was slightly different to imply/mimic different aspects of the natural and built environment. the exhibiton comprised of 6 paintings, a bonsai, and field recordings from parks in tokyo.
discreet music, nasha, sydney, 2023
- the compositons for the paintings were based off architectural elements of the gallery building. the exhibiton comprised of 12 paintings, a wall painting across the three levels of the gallery, and a small artist book of drawings of the architectural information used for the compositions.
alphago, canteen, sydney, 2021
- i made a generator (coded in Processing) based off my own paintings and hosted on a website (the culmination of my now defunct generativepainting.online website). the exhibition comprised a mixture of the original paintings that were coded into the generator, and paintings of generated paintings. the generator was displayed on a monitor, refreshing every 5 seconds with a new painting, and a generative audio piece was playing.
