Born in Melbourne, Australia, he studied Sculpture at the Victorian College of the Arts and then Glass at the Australian National University. A Samstag Scholarship brought him to the US in 2002, where he completed graduate study at Massachusetts College of Art.
My recent sculptural works reflect a recycling of historical references, interpreted through a use of industrial materials. These works explore boundaries between the organic and constructed worlds, blurring categories of artificial and natural. They are objects both desirous and grotesque, in a dissemblance of beauty and appearances, probing questions into the phenomenology of desire, surface and sublimnity.
