“For the last two years I’ve been solidly working on this new project, ‘Wooden Postcards’.
This is an amalgamation of various skills and expressive of a world attitude and philosophy.

We are currently on an artist in residence at Laughing Waters just outside of Melbourne on the Yarra River. We are there to produce works for a couple of exhibitions later this year - and it is also a mighty fine place to sit and do some of our design work.
In November 2006 we launched a fine arts publication entitled ‘The Present History’. Here is a quick spiel: “The Present History was produced in Canberra, Australia by The Contextual Villains and contains the combined work of over 25 visual, sound and text based artists.
