The following works are from a self appointed artist residency program that I have been taking part in over the past few weeks. I found myself knee deep in dishpiggery, helping my brother out at his newly opened cafe on Sydney’s central coast, but rather than wallow in the sink, bathing myself in altruistic familiar glory, I decided to make something of it.
This is a first attempt at some programmable poetry that was inspired from research into mindfulness meditation practice and the confronting experiences that come with being present to whatever arises.
Come Together Now uses recorded sound and technology as an invitation rather than a mediation of entertainment. The aim of this work is to bring people together with a pre-recorded sound composition, remove the recorded sounds as they sit down, leaving them with their own space to create a musical experience.

Sensing Self is the first work to have surfaced from a series of art practices that are a product of a meditative exploration of egoic proportions. Sensing Self is the result of a meeting of rituals; art as a product of self reflection and self reflection as way of producing space.
