Wearable metal body sculpture I call Bodiware, has been a passion of mine for over 38 years now. I made the first body sculpture in my final year at R.M.I.T. gold and silversmithing in 1984. All my years till now have been dedicated to the pursuit of the original, the excellence of both making and design, unique presentation and to achieve a personal WOW factor that only I can determine for myself. Having created over 3,000 bespoke pieces including sculpture, lighting, pieces for movies and theatre, installations and of course all manner of jewellery making. I would now like to focus on my love of adorning the human body in metal with focus on allowing the imagination guide to guide both the creation and making process. I feel having worked in the ‘Dungeons’ at the Meat Market Craft Centre after completing my post graduate in 1986 that this is like a return to the original source of some of my inspiration. Having been a part of the 2016 WOW in New Zealand and experiencing the full extravaganza that has become WOW, it is definitely something that Melbourne and Regional areas need to experience. If my work can in any way add to growth of this event, I feel privileged to share the experience with all the other designers, organisers and the wealth of talent that I am sure I will be surrounded by.
