Hi. I'm David, and welcome to my showcase of curious objects.

This is a selection of my work. There's more at Curious Objects online.

I've been making sculpture for about eight years, and completed honours at the University of Tasmania's School of Art in Hobart in 2003.
Those were the days. Now I live and work in Sydney, and make curious objects on my own time.

So why do I make art? For the same reason most artist's do I think. It keeps me sane. Sure I also do it because it's fascinating and engaging and I get a kick out of bringing all of my faculties to bear on something that's ultimately useless, but mostly I do it because if I didn't, I'd go crazy.

I also occasionally make art because people ask me to. I've previously designed sets, built props, painted venues and illustrated a book. it's always a bit nerve-wracking, because I'm not one of those conceptual types that know exactly what they're doing from the word go. In fact the reverse is usually true. My main motivation for finishing sculptures is finding out what they're going to look like.

Feel free to contact me with requests, fanmail, hatemail, links to your own work, whatever. I hope you like what you see. Enjoy.

D.

You're welcome. What is that thing made of? I'm guessing Latex or silicone over a formwork? Or Super Sculpey? Is it painted?

I love it!
