Please read on for information on 2 exhibitions opening this week in Canberra & Melbourne as well as an Open Studio event this weekend.

Open Studio Day

Saturday 28 July 11.30am - 4pm

M16 Artspace, 21 Blaxland Cres Griffith, Canberra

If you're curious about what I've been up to in the studio since moving across to M16 Artspace in April, this Saturday is a great opportunity to stop by for a look and a chat. I'm in Studio #1. There will be a Champagne start at 11.30am, live jazz by Tilt trio and lots of studios and art organisations to peruse. This is also your best chance to see my latest large drawing before it heads to Ballarat for the Biennale of Australian Art in September.

I am pleased to be part of Subterrain, a Flinders Lane Gallery Pop-up exhibition now on display at Collins Place Gallery in Melbourne's CBD (Level 1, 45 Collins St). There will be a closing party Friday 3 August 5-7pm for Melbourne Art Week. In this exhibition natural formations and geological structures provide points of departure for my work and that of Hannah Quinlivan, Jacob Leary, Zac Koukoravas, Melinda Schawel, Dan Lorrimer and Agneta Ekholm. If you can't make it to Melbourne you can always view the works and read Phe Luxford's essay online.

I am also part of the M16 Artspace Studio Artists' Exhibition, which opens this Thursday 26 July from 6pm in Canberra. Please join us for a drink courtesy of BentSpoke Brewing Co. and Quarry Hill Wines. The exhibition continues until 12 August (open Wed-Sun 12-5pm).
