The Big Design Day Market

14/6/2012

Just booked a space at the first The Big Design Market in Melbourne, 7,8,9 December. It is a retail event with both established and emerging designers located in The Royal Exhibition Hall.
The format has huge potential to becoming the premium design show in Australia , especially considering the changes in retail and wholesale as well as the location.
NZ designers could easily use this to test the Australian market. At this stage I`ll be taking art, waltz sculptures, lights and jewellery plus my son, its time he learnt what I have to do for a living.

Uxbridge Estuary Art Competition 2012

Estuary Artworks aims to raise the profile of this critical waterway, encouraging community protection from all forms of pollution through exploration of visual arts. Sponsored by Howick Community Board

Curiosity & Balance mixed media

The central concept around the artwork is how to engage public awareness of the polluted estuary especially after so many years where seemingly nothing has been achieved, in such a way that its long term viability is possible. Finding that solution isn`t a short term project but is a long term strategy which needs to balance the requirements of the community to that of the environment.
Clearly that strategy is failing as no one is taking any notice and the waterway is still polluted.

first create curiosity,
leading to conversations & discussions
followed by knowledge
leading to appreciation
generating respect
finding a solution
and develop a balance

Curiosity & Balance grew out from the idea of a retired seafarer making an object with his grandchildren. The old workshop filled with all sorts of fascinating pieces which all have a story to tell. The time when talk is relaxed, lots of questions, skills, knowledge are shared and ultimately respect is developed.
A day that is never forgotten as the object is proudly displayed with the significance of each part explained to all, thereby creating a continuity of curiosity, knowledge respect and maybe the chance to protect all environments.
