Conference Table, Committee Room Two, Parliament House, Hobart

The brief was for a uniquely Tasmanian table to seat 14 people but flexible enough to seat more. The result was a five metre table with sweeping aluminium curves cutting through a Huon Pine and Myrtle veneer top.

Entrance screen, Meadowbank Estate, Richmond.

The brief was for an entrance piece to greet the customer and introduce them to a working vineyard without obscuring the view of the architectural space. It provides a focal point when you enter but allows you to see beyond through the spikes. The shelf is for personal effects to be placed upon entrance. The result was a three-piece screen. One section holds the company logo, in a three-dimensional form, on curved , tapered metal tube. The other two sections act as a translucent screen and/or noticeboard. All pieces are on castors so they can be easily moved around.

The screen shown at right is similar to the one at Meadowbank.

Wall sconce, Making an Entrance exhibition, Salamanca Place, August

Whilst honouring the functions of a shelf, a cabinet, a drawer and a vase, the wall-hung shrines are organic in form. They combine precious figured veneers, ceramics and elaborate painted finishes, imbuing the pieces with a sensual spiritual quality. In a sense, they act as photo albums for three-dimensional objects.
