time to get a clock

ive gone cuckoo looking for innovative and contemporary clock designs.



some worth mentioning are
the cuckoo meridiana clock- a clean cut clock with a working chirping cuckoo bird.
the progetti random wall clock - a timepiece made from 13 separate blocks. keep them close or spread them as far apart as you desire.
the clocky - an adorable alarm clock that rolls straight off your desk to get you out of bed.
the Cuckoo Forest Clock - a modernised silhouette design of a traditional cuckoo wall clock.

VITA - art installation

apologies for such a post drought! but here is what i've been too busy with!







the uni girls and i collaboratively constructed an immersive environment that asks what is the natural and what is the unnatural? what is the animate and what is the inanimate? what is the old and what is the new?
using recyclable mundane objects, suspension, sounds and lighting we created an artistic interior installation, incorporating ideas of life and death, birth and re-birth.

who knew what you could do with a truck load of plastic cups?







VITA was showing at the deakin campus in burwood in 2009.
for any further information or commercial inquiries don't hesitate to e-mail me.

this incredible graphic designed doormat by sam and jude, reads "come in" for a lovely invitation into your home. however if your not feeling very sociable, rotate it to read "go away".

brilliant.

sorry, don't think i'm bragging my bones away, but this is actually my first ebay buy, so i had to share my success! measuring 108 x 97cm and costing me only $112.50AU, i think i did pretty well!

only trouble is, now i'm not sure i can stop!
