It was the 1st time that I gamified a art/poetry work! I really enjoyed making something that's both fun to play & that explores deeper themes of philosophy, creativity & poetry.
I’m so grateful for the support, encouragement, & curiosity of the communities around me — both locally & online.

The Last Stanza has been one of the most rewarding pieces I’ve made — blending poetry, sculpture, & immersive worldbuilding into an interactive experience.
The QLD XR Festival's events will take place in Brisbane from the 28th–30th of Nov, & I’m so proud The Last Stanza will be included.

But, seriously! Ballarat! 2025 has been a very inpsirational and high volume creative period for us, and there's no sense of slowing down... A lot of it has had to do with the support & encouragement of the local artistic and creative community here in Ballarat.

Kylie took waaaaaay better pictures of “8” on Sunday…
Multiple exposures, camera tricks, or tricks of the light? Trifecta?

To be clear, Sarah Curro is the star violinist in question.
I customised her Semi-Acoustic violin. If you wanna know more about that cool thing, you can see that here:

We did it. After 6 years of trying to get this show, “8”, on an IRL stage, it happened.
I ran tech, it was all our own equipment, & 2 of the 3 musicians couldn’t play due to personal tragedy, but WE STILL GOT IT ON THE STAGE WITH THE STAR VIOLINIST so that totally counts.
Right? no more curse?

After my wife finished reading her 8th book on Quantum Physics this year in prep for us writing our 2026 show… she says: “I think I believe in ghosts now”.
me: Remember how I told you art was magic, & magic was just the bending of reality? Here’s some homework. Just try to ignore the misogyny :(

First rose of the season from our garden. This rosebush was almost entirely dead when we got here, my Kylie revived it with her green thumb. ❤️🌹

Well, Floriography has now wrapped!
The last show at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale was today, a few tears were shed (the good kind), & it’s time to pack up our little show & start working on getting the next one on the stage.
Kylie, you’re a star.

I am having fun preparing for my first solo exhibition, coming up in December 2025-Jan 2026. I decided to frame the artworks myself, by mounting them on wood & using eco-resin to seal them — so they’re shippable internationally *wink* & because I have a deep hatred for glass frames.

Went to the opening of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale, and saw Campbell Addy speak + exhibition reveal. Very exciting!
Kylie’s 1st Floriography session starts TOMORROW — she’s been working so hard, & I am so proud of her! One more sleep!!
