On Now and Coming Soon
Making Old New: DRG 10th Anniversary Exhibition
23 May – 1 August 2026
David Roche Gallery, North Adelaide
As the David Roche Gallery celebrates 10 years of its doors being open to the public, I was delighted to be invited as one of 20 artists to create a contemporary response to something from the collection. The straw boxes from the David Roche Gallery collection that have inspired my works in the exhibition are exquisite. The patterns and their relationship to the forms are exceptionally pleasing. As is the feeling of preciousness created with this basic material – straw. It is made to appear gold-like and when dyed, rich and jewel-like. The scale is intricate and delicate, an expression of fine skill, a sharp eye and patience.
I have worked with elements from these boxes; aspects of the patterns, enlarged and simplified, the colours, the sense of intricacy, the forms. Using my drawing technique of heating fine threads of coloured glass, which I have prepared, and fusing them onto the surface of the blown form during the hot process, I have created these new works in glass.

Developments
27 June 2026 – 3 January 2027
Lette Glass Museum, Coesfeld, Germany
The works of 32 artists from across the globe are contributing to this celebratory exhibition at the Lette Glass Museum. Works from the Museum collection alongside recent works from each artist will help describe developments in those artists’ careers as well as the history of this remarkable collection. I was able to send 3 new works that will sit in conversation with a work of mine from 2015.
