25.01.2022 Very excited to take the next step with gorgeous collaborator @melaleuca_rise, and our project, Dadirri.

24.01.2022 Lovely to start the year with the inspirational Jane Ziemons from Melaleuca Rise. Mindmapping, planning and sharing for the photoshoot for our third installation of Dadirri. Melaleuca Rise creates art from the cloth. Not only pieces for exhibition and runway, but also gorgeous, practical, sustainable and made-to-measure clothing - living art, that enhances lifestyle. #Repost @melaleuca_rise (@get_repost)... Its easy to believe that we have to change to fit someone elses idea of a standard size or a perfect fit. At Melaleuca Rise we believe you already are the perfect size and its our job to fit you. #bespoke #madetomeasure #perfectfit #wearyourvalues #loveyourbody #bekindtoyourself #bodypositve #sustainablefashion #fashiondesigner #dowhatyoulove See more

22.01.2022 So happy to welcome Alexander McKinnon (pictured here with partner in life and dance, Lauren Murray). Overjoyed to have a high-calibre male ballet dancer, (who happens to be homegrown), as a collaborating dancer! Alexander McKinnon was born and raised in Perth Western Australia. He began dancing at the age of ten, alongside swimming and football. He fondly remembers being attracted to dance because of the freedom of movement and expression it provided. His talent saw hi...m travel to Melbourne at fourteen years of age to attend the Australian Ballet School. He graduated in 2010 with an Advanced Diploma of Dance and performed in both productions by the Dancers Company and the Australian Ballet. He worked in the Australian Ballet Educational Ensemble from 2011 - 2012. He then decided to audition abroad and began his European career with Ballet am Rhein Dsseldorf Duisburg under the direction of Martin Schlapfer from 2012 - 2014. He then joined Staatsoper Hannover as a Soloist, performing numerous leading roles. Alexander then decided to further his career by returning to Perth to study Arts Management at WAAPA with the intention to grow cultural and the arts in his hometown. See more

CLOSED SUNDAY FOR PRIVATE VIEW PHONE 087 624 1792 German artist, Karin Hawkes comes to Dublin for her first Irish solo exhibition at The Ireland Institute in September. An expressionist painter, Karins art is characterised by extreme dynamics where bewildering contours mix and interlock. Strong colours and contrasts, movement and rhythm, spontaneity and chance cause a continuous variation between representational stylising and abstract forms. Hawkes grew up in West Berlin amidst the worldwide mood of optimism of the 1960,s with the exciting Pop Cultural impulses of that time. She studied Graphics and Photography, Art History, Islamic Art History and Languages in Germany and London. Co-founder of the renowned Antique Arts Gallery, Neiriz Berlin 91980-2014, Karin lives and works in Berlin. The exhibition will be managed in line with COVID-19 guidelines in collaboration with Commercial Hygiene Solutions.
