PlaySchool (Brain Child) 2007
‘Brain Child’, Gosford Regional Gallery, March 14 - April 15, 2009.
This body of work uses Cuisenaire Rods (coloured counting blocks that were used to teach mathematics, dating back to the early 1960s) to play with the idea that memories are building blocks forming the architecture of our lives. Rods of various sizes (from tiny to huge) are used to workshop issues relating to early brain development and the mutual effects of motherhood and childhood. Click on the individual pieces to find out further information such as titles, materials and dimensions.
When ‘CR’ is used as an abbreviation it refers to Cuisenaire Rods.

Avoca Beach 2008,
approx 2m x 1.5m x 1.5m.
5 Lands Walk Festival, June 21st, in conjunction with Gosford Regional Gallery.
Interactive installation using discarded PET bottles, wood, food colouring and sand.
Each pair of bottles, connected end to end, can be rotated so the sand moves from one to another like an egg timer.
The Five Lands Walk is an annual cultural event involving MacMasters, Copacabana, Avoca, North Avoca and Terrigal Beach. It takes place close to the winter solstice to co-incide with the northern whale migration. It involves the local arts and indigenous communities, as well as invited artists, to respond to the natural environment.
