European Tour 2017

On the first of May 2017, Margot and I packed our bikes onto a plane to Paris. Then, breathing deeply of second-hand cigarette smoke, we put them together in a taxi rank at Charles de Gaulle airport and rode off

A kind invitation from Unley Council sees some of my larger pieces displayed in the Council Chambers until the end of May 2015. The biggest one, Osmond Creek, had been sitting in storage for a while. It was nice to see it

Cycling in Tuscany

Cycling in Tuscany

It’s not that great – well, actually it is. Our organised cycling tour in Tuscany began in Lucca, where Margot and I had already spent a couple of days. It’s a beautiful medieval walled town, and a tourist town, so

Cycling in the Vercors

Cycling in the Vercors

Or – how to succeed in the French Alps without really trying. So, my understanding is that the Vercors is part of the French Alps, but not the nasty pointy part, more the gentle but still spectacular part. We were

Venice 1995. Certain themes in my photos seem to p Venice 1995. Certain themes in my photos seem to persist 🌊😊 I am looking through work and photos from a month I spent in Venice in January 1995 with the aim of making a book. I think it will have photos, paintings and bits from my notebooks, but I'm really just beginning and trying to see what would work... #daveinvenice #venice #polaroid #polaroidsx70 #seascape

What’s Next for Team Dave?

2023 was mainly directed to working towards a solo show in August. This show formed part of the SALA (South Australian Living Artists) Festival and was held in Adelaide. It brought with it many wonderful things and made me very tired. I am now trying to recharge after three very challenging years. (Challenging, that is, by my standards.) I'm still working on a couple of series in 2024 though, and we'll see how that goes.

2021-22 saw the completion of a Masters Degree in Contemporary Art at UniSA. This was a return to full time study for the first time since 1984.

In 2024 I am developing idea for some new work, "The Sea Before Dawn." We'll see what happens I guess.
