two tattoos from last week melbourne ;
- wildflowers with galaxy spores for karlee, one of the coolest ladies i’m so grateful to have around,
- orion’s belt for andrew – to be seen the right way up, and upside down — a marker for australia,

A customised pair of sneakers for Gorman – they’ll be shown in Sydney on the 10th of May, and Melbourne after that.
They’ll be up for sale, with all proceeds going to charity — it’s a complete dream to have anything to do with Gorman –
the only catch is they’re a sample size 37, and I had to call through my whole address book to find someone with feet small enough to wear
them (thanks Reiko!). xx

tattooed dress
A dress made for my very first solo show three years ago, sewn with Warren Harrison, and tattooed by Paul Stillen — -
made from a tattooed kangaroo skin, all the drawings are hidden on the inside – made to rub & age with wear & sweat.
