Gorgonia
The Gorgonia works-on-paper date from the period 1997 to 2009. Two dozen of these sheets, spanning the period 2000 to 2006, were exhibited at the Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne, in Before the Body - Matter (2006-7/group). A number of these sheets, which were subsequently purchased by MUMA, were then included in the group exhibitions Monash University Collection: A selection of recent acquisitions (2007-8) and Plus/Minus (2009).
Other showings of the Gorgonia works include: More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid, Finekost, Berlin (2009/group), Leave No Trace: Ridges, Troughs and Phantom Limbs, International Studio and Curatorial Program gallery, New York (2009/group), Gorgonia, Studio 12, Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces (2003/solo), After the deluge, corrections, Temple Studios (1999/solo) and Capurro, Ellis, Hutchison and Parsons, First Floor Artists and Writers Space (2002/group).
