I went to see Voice Weavers on Saturday night. They are an A cappella group which are about to travel to Vietnam to compete in an international choral festival. They are really good. I liked the power of the conductor in this photo, and the separate spaces creating two very different framed scenes. Definitely worth seeing this group. Find out more at the link below.

Sadly another powerful force, the ocean, has been battering the north coast for a few months of this year. Creating a significantly lower beach, which is resulting in the dunes being eroded more than usual, and very established trees having the sand eroded out from under them. There must be about four large trees down, in a two kilometre stretch of beach from New Brighton to South Golden Beach. Apparently the dunes have recovered before - but it is a shame to see trees washed away.  

My submission for Swell Sculpture Festival 2013 has been accepted! The festival runs from September 13 - 22 at Currumbin Beach, QLD. I'm going to make the piece above into a six foot high sculpture that can be viewed from all directions. The title is "All the World's a Stage" referring to a monologue from Shakespeare's play - As You Like It.
