South Australia • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

Samuel Beckett's mantra; ' Try again, fail again, fail better' -  doesn't present a cause for optimism! But here is a truth, if you are an experimental type you might  ask: what does horse tail hair have to do with art practice? Does cold and hot wax produce good result? Can I create something without having an idea first - or does it come at the end?  A resounding YES to all of this, COME - my latest work shows endlss fail again, fail better possibilities, open studio at Hahndorf  come and  engage in experimentals and ask as many questions as you like!
