24th June 2019 – Images purchased by the State Library of NSW
A selection of images from my Holtermann Projection series have been purchased by the State Library of NSW.
The library has the original 1870’s Holtermann Collection in their archives.
The library regard my series as an example of repurposing of the original images. Hence their interest in acquiring a set for their archives.
The La Paloma Pottery Shed, Holtermann’s Corner, The Royal Hotel, Warry’s Cottage, the old Willow Tree (since removed😞😞) and the Sacred Heart church have been acquired.
You can go to the Holtermann Projection folio on the Portfolios page of this website to see the full set of images I did for the series.
List of works purchased are featured below.
Holtermann’s Corner with a projection of Bernhardt Otto Holtermann with his gold nugget.
That nugget financed the important photographic commission that came to be known at the Holtermann Collection.
An image of the original studio of the American and Australasian Photographic Co. projected
onto a tree that stood near the centre of town (since removed)

7-9th June 2019 – The Opening of Lamplight at the Bathurst Regional Gallery
The opening of ‘Lamplight’ my exhibition at the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery was big. It was the culmination of a three-year artist residency at Hill End.
There were so many supportive friends who came to share in this occasion. Huge thanks to Anthony Browell for his thoughtful introduction to my artist talk on Saturday morning. Thanks everyone for coming. You all made it very special.
