Changed market dates

I can't come to the market on June 24th. I will figure out next sunday which alternative date I pick, and what to do in the next market season. However, I found a new way to relatively safely send models via mail, so your last chance to obtain one of my wonderfully weird works hasn't come yet.

Market

As you can see in the latest entries, I have been quite busy lately. Many of the new models will be on display tomorrow, Sunday April 29th, on the Rose Street Artist's Market in Fitzroy. If you're in Melbourne, and have never been there, come and enjoy a variety of goods you can't find easily anywhere else. See you there.

Market Dates

I just confirmed my bookings for the Rose Street Artist's Market for January and February. Keeping up my old habits, I will appear fortnightly on Sundays in Fitzroy, offering you the unique opportunity to buy an original piece of tensegrity art.

• January: 16 and 30
• February: 13 and 27

Thank you

The first part of my experiment ended today - I had my last appearance on the Rose Street Artist's Market for this year. I'd like to thanks all my customers, everyone stress-testing my constructions (besides the real clumsy ones) and everyone showing an interest in my tensegrity sculptures. I wanted to find out whether I could produce tensegrity structures that were appealing enough to the general public to be sold.

I spend 13 sundays in Fitzroy, and learned to enjoy my time on the market thoroughly. I started with a cut-loss strategy, hoping for a break even after one market season, willing to discontinue the experiment in case of utter lack of business.

Now it's time for a break, ironically mainly because I broke my foot. However, once I'm back on both feet I will arrange market dates for the next year. Until then, I can work on some aspects of my market presence I neglected a bit. On the product side, I want to introduce more colour. Due to my outdoor workshop setting the Melbourne weather prevents more colour temporarily, but summer has to come one day.

Thank you all for your interest and support.

Market Dates Update

I managed to break a bone in my foot, so I'm a bit less mobile at the moment. That means I have to cancel my appearance for next sunday (November 14) on the Rose Street Artist Market. Nevertheless, I'd like to thank all my customers for their interest in my work, and I'm confident to be back on two feet in time for the remaining market dates.

November: 28
December: 12 and 19

See you in Fitzroy!

Market Dates

I booked some dates for the Rose Street Arts Market, and found some inhabitants for some of my sculptures as well. If you want to find out who lives in a tensegrity sculpture, you can find me on the Rose Street Artist's Market each second sunday until November.

• August: 8. and 23.
• September: 5. and 19.
• October: 3., 17. and 31.
• November: 14. and 28.

See you in Fitzroy!

Welcome

Thanks for stepping by. It doesn't matter how you found this site, by chance, word of mouth or decoding the QR code on the label of one of my sculptures, I'm grateful for your curiosity. In due course, when this is no longer the only article here, you can find information around tensegrity structures, where to get them and maybe even how to make them.

I started building tensegrity sculptures around May 2009, and after some initial set backs I got pretty much hooked on creating more and more of them. One year later, I had my first appearance on the Rose Street Artist's Market in Fitzroy, where you can find me again on the 23rd May, and some more dates to be announced.

As a little teaser, have a look at the slideshow :)
