Frank Mills Memorial seat (2016)

The Frank Mills Memorial Seat was commissioned by Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce to honour the historian, in his lifetime, for his contribution to community. The steel components of the seat were welded primarily from his own collection of heritage steel; steel left from his days of driving a bullock team to carry timber. 

My work in sculpture and public initiatives grows from an engagement with place and community.

Sunseat (2017)

The Sun Seat was commissioned by SUN Bistro as an addition to the bistro’s garden. The back of the chair echoed the roofline of the nearby built structures

Through sculpture and curated initiatives, I explore how material, form, and context shape the way we inhabit and move through space. Each project responds to its surroundings—natural or built—reflecting the textures, rhythms, and histories of place. By attending to existing culture and my own relationship with materials, I seek to create work that fosters connection, invites reflection, and enriches the environments we share. Sculpture and placemaking become gestures that open space for discovery, engagement, and a deeper sense of presence.

My placemaking endeavours are often through collaborative efforts with colleagues: we work as THREE SEATS.
