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

les vélos qui sont Paris

I’ve been fascinated by the all the bikes here, the way people use them and how they interact while riding them. I’ve been peering at old bikes chained to fences and noticing the huge variety of riders as they whizz

Dark Heart at SA Gallery – Worth Many Looks

At a time when institutional galleries struggle ever more for relevance, it is good to see the South Australian gallery struggle and succeed. The 2014 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art has much to recommend it. Sex and Death worked for

Document your work! I'm about to start a book base Document your work! I'm about to start a book based on work I did in Venice 1992-1995, and it's great to know that a Kodachrome of the finished work that I started on the bridge is in a little yellow box ready to be scanned. (And yes, I'd forgotten that I did this and was sad to think I'd lost all those early pieces, even though at the time I was glad because a cafe bought them.) #venice #35mm #kodachrome #hp5

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.
