Farewell to the old studio
In August this year I moved out of my studio of nine years, after the landlords had their development application approved. This three-storey warehouse opposite the Annandale Hotel in Stanmore, Sydney, was at different times home and work space to a number of artists including Elizabeth Day, Justin Trendall, Maria Cruz, Stephen Birch, Jacky Redgate, Brandt Lewis and India Zegan. Sculptor and painter Peter Hardy had been there for about 30 years. So we had a pretty good run, but it’s sad when these increasingly rare inner-city artists’ spaces go.
One month away from exhibition: notebooks, studio shots, bushwalks, tattoos
The assortment of images and experiences influencing the upcoming show. All photos my own. Namakubi tattoo by Tong; bushwalk around the fringes of Taronga Zoo, near Sirius Cove, Sydney.
