Thank you New York

I would like to thank everyone who visited 'High Society’ - my exhibition at the Olsen Gruin Gallery. I am very fortunate to exhibit in different countries and it is a huge honour to exhibit in New York City.⁣

So many people worked tirelessly behind the scenes from Director Emerald Gruin as well as Alex and Evelyn; Nelson who ran the bar and kept the house in order; Luis who framed; Niko who installed the video work and Kevin who hung the show. They all work so hard to make it look effortless and serene. ⁣

Australia is going through an incredibly difficult time. The message for High Society was to consider ‘other' societies on earth that are part of the fabric of this planet. They have their own families and societies. So many people understand this - from wildlife carers to people trying to slow the expansion of humans into wild forests and habitats. With the devastating fires we should preserve what exists and try to restore what was lost.⁣

I will continue to work with, donate to, and help highlight wildlife and forest preservation organisations. I will also be working on a new book and I would love to exhibit in Melbourne, Australia as well as other cities I have never exhibited in.⁣

My video piece ’Nature is not a place to visit, it is home’ will still be on view in the winter group exhibition 'In Sight' at Olsen Gruin, opening Friday Jan 24, 6 - 8pm.⁣

Thank you again for your support.
