new works

This new collection of ‘architectural oddities’ was first conceived and presented at @soft.exhibition for #melbournedesignweek 2024, in the softest of homes.

While simple in their form, the geometry creates a number of technical challenges. Sand cast as a singular object (no post-production welding or machining), these vessels bridge object and architecture, exploring ideas of mass, shadow, light, raw honest materiality and modularity, common themes throughout my work.

Fittingly, 2 years on, the expanded collection once again makes its debut in a fabulous curated apartment, presented by Emma Elizabeth and Cassandra Bird as part of Sydney Contemporary’s off-site program, hosted by @the_____second.

Works are available through the exhibition curators.

The Second, Surry Hills, Apt 2, 56–60 Foster Street
1st Preview | 2–7 September 2026 | 10–5pm

Gusswerk (01) Cast Aluminium
Gusswerk, a series of small vessels, continuing my exploration of architectural forms through cast aluminium, with a focus on weight, surface and rawness being expressed in the final object. 
The work keeps the marks of making visible, allowing the material to express its innate texture, patina, and small imperfections.

Gusswerk (02) Plywood
The plywood iteration explores the same form through a lighter, layered material, a shift from casting to cutting, scoring and assembly. While still raw in its finish the work looks more at grain, edge and layering.

Very excited to be presenting new work at Synthesis, presented by @_studio.shields at @abbotsfordconvent for #melbournedesignweek.

This is the largest piece I have produced to date, continuing my exploration of modularity, repetition and the raw texture of cast aluminium.

|| SYNTHESIS || 

An immersive interior installation curated by Ruby Shields @_studio.shields featuring over 40 artists, designers & makers.

At its core, Synthesis is about collective authorship. This isn’t about objects on plinths. It’s about what happens when everything comes together. Many voices, one interior language.

Opening Night ~ 16th May 6pm

Sneak peeks ahead of Melbourne Design Week ’26 (14-24 May).

The ideas behind this work have been bubbling away for the best part of a year now, and stoked to finally see it come together.

Looking forward to showing this work at the @_studio.shields x @synthesis.mdw show, amongst some of my favourite, incredibly talented Australian designers.

As a practicing artist, architect and designer working across South Australia and New South Wales his interest lies in the production of crafted, raw objects and spaces.

With a fascination in the ‘whole-of-life’ design process, objects and spaces are carefully considered through all stages of production and created with a level of thoughtfulness and pragmatism resulting in an enduring quality. Each project is founded with the need for a deep and critical understanding of material and process, allowing each component, material or space to perform to its natural ability. 

The launch of synonymous design brand newInstance(), reflects these qualities. Working on a range of custom commissions and production-based products the brand acts as a home for research, testing, manufacture and production of design; ranging from furniture, lighting and objects to the creation of temporary and permanent spaces.

Off-Menu, organised by @sedni.studio, will be proudly displayed at Noise Complaint @noisecomplaint_au

14/05-19/05, 11am-4pm daily, 35 Butler Street, Richmond. Entry via Little Butler Street.
