A couple of works we made for Art Melbourne 2008.  Vintage cloth and buttons, found paper with digital print.  Handmade frames.

We have are in the process of building the new Creative Spaces website for Melbourne City Council.  They are a tremendous resource in Victoria for creatives looking for places to do their thing.  The project co-ordinator was kind enough to line us up a photoshoot in the Abbotsford Convents derelict laundry.

Working from Paul’s parents farm on the south coast of Australia, we couldn’t resist the decending fog…

Just down the road from where we are working (see Laughing Waters post) is an old mud brick house… National Parks Victoria just acquired it for a multi-million dollar sum and while their primary interest was the 40 hectares or so of hills and river frontage, we are far more taken by the abandoned human habitat’s to be found on the property. It must have been quite the party house in the 60’s / 70’s, pumping water straight out of the Yarra the grounds would have been lush - grounds filled with water features, ponds, tennis court & pool, all of which is now in a glorious state of decay. We are interested in staging a few different photoshoots for an exhibition later in the year, however the photos below are just playing around… getting used to the space… You can probably tell from the images that we thought the old pool was pretty crash hot.
