Video Montage. All the while my frantic mind is a-flutter With dreams and conversations They're perceived intensely, yet are simple and true. The fantasies grow. And I shift With the current of my creation. And there you float; in your beautiful deep calm. I relish the journey Solitary though it is It's my mind's meander to you, And there you soar; in your beautiful deep calm.

Projection Mapping. Little Boxes brings together the worlds of projection mapping, conceptual glitch art, and thoughts on ecological sustainability, by projecting glitched data, film, and animation onto a scene made of handmade origami flying foxes and trees. Little Boxes calls upon the viewer to rethink their notions of the wildlife/human relationship without media hype, as well as their notions of ‘disruption’.

Video Montage Moments in time captured using time-lapse photography, video footage and digital photos that have been blended together and digitally enhanced to create a story of Townsville and the surrounding region. Local landmarks, people, flora and fauna are the inspiration behind this work. There will also be a live element to the event each night that will ensure a unique experience for the viewer.

Video Game. Narrative; “The year is 2030, radars have detected multiple bogies and have been tracking them just off the coast of Townsville.” Voice on radio; “These bogies are non responsive and appear to be heading towards the mainland. We advise citizens of Townsville to take precautions as they are entering the airspace as I speak, they may be hostile.” Dragon AD is an interactive video game.

Tissue Connective Digital Mapping. Tissue Connective looks at the law of attraction and the relationships between fixed objects and permeable space. A collection of found images, remixed video, computer games, digital artwork and interactive smart phone content will form a live mixed visual montage, exploring the sensuality of connection and the architecture of collective identity. Mesmerising projection mapping to captivate the consumer and transform the time space.

Digital Mapping. I focus on natural elements with graphic patterns specificities, at different scales looking for plastic forms, volumes or features that I can “redraw” or reinterpret in a new perspective. Alway’s trying to work on art with a focus on perception in a phenomenological way and with an antropological perspective.

Cinemagraphs Tiny Moves is a series of unassuming moments occurring in and around Townsville. These unnoticed moments become significant when we are given the chance to focus on what is still and what is moving. Human objects contrast native plants and vegetation as we move from natural landscapes through cane fields, and into backyards and kitchens exploring stillness and tiny, sacred, movement.

Video Montage. In The poem ‘I Carry Your Heart’ by E.E Cummings is presented in this artwork using layers of stop motion, film & time lapse footage collected over the past couple of years. I chose to visually interpret this particular poem because it has been one of my favourite pieces of writing since I was a child. The footage that I chose to tell this story are made up of intimate moments that I’ve managed to capture as they’ve unfolded around me.

Natural Disturbances Animation. Earth is a planet of stunning natural beauty, with its serene forests, fractal patterns, sandy beaches and mountainous landfills. This tripple-channel projection is a collaborative effort between three Townsville based artists that juxtaposes the ambience and wonder of nature with the impacts of human intervention. The collection of footage is manipulated in real time to reflect the unpredictable relationship we have with our environment.

Video Montage. I always like to see what happens when blending two completely different things. In Atacumbia I used slow motion of a water-eroded tunnel, blended with fast paced live Cumbia music together with footage of people in moments of cheer and despair using audio from football fans celebrating victories at the latest World Cup. Techniques used are slow and abrupt transitions.

Celebrating Life in the Tropics Animated Stills. I try to capture different aspects of North Queensland that people love. From the lush Tropical Rainforest to the sandy golden Beaches, from the City life style to the beautiful Great Barrier Reef.

Animation. Animation is one of the technique I like to experiment with. I try to create them really fast, so I don’t lose the energy of the creative moment, even if the final result is raw. My main instrument for doing animation is a laptop with a webcam. I use flash and I finger-draw on the pad. I also use the web cam for some photo- shopping tricks.

Interactive Projection Absent Presence references the traces we may leave as individuals throughout our environment, whether this is the imprint we have on the environment or the history that’s embedded into our lived spaces and architecture. I am interested in what is absent and what is present with an aim that the viewer considers these ideas. Using interactive technology the work allows the viewer to be part of its creation by projecting their shadow, recording it
