24.01.2022 It is with deep regret I have to inform you of the cancellation of my art exhibition INSTRUMENTATION. Even though there would be a low risk as the event was spread over ten days, its the fact that chances are we're moving towards lockdown and no one would be able to attend anyway. So it will be postponed until all of this clears up, hopefully Spring 2020. So if we make it through, I will see you then, probably with a few more art works too!
24.01.2022 A new art project underway! These are soundhole cutouts from the hundreds of instruments I’ve made over the years. I knew they would come in handy one day! #wildwoodinstruments #musicalinstrumentart #musicartwork #soundhole #australianartist #musicart
23.01.2022 No social distancing for this one!
23.01.2022 Homophonic. A homage to all the LGBTQI musicians of the world, past and present. A driving force in the fight against homophobia and agents of change. This sculpture will be on display at INSTRUMENTATION - a unique art exhibition inspired by musical instruments. Co-presented by Melbourne Music Week Extended. 1 Dec - 3 Jan Shop 4/240 Little Collins St. Melbourne, and online at www.wildwoodinstruments.com.au/instrumentationcomingsoon Hope you can make it!... #wildwoodinstruments #melbournemusicweek #melbourneexhibition #melbourneart #instrumentation #melbournelife #melbournecbd #melbournearts #melbourneartscene #melbournemusic #artcollector #art #sculpture #queerart #gaymelbourne #gayaustralia #queermusic
23.01.2022 No social distancing for these duckies! Off to the dam for a morning swim, here at Wildwood Instruments! #wildwoodinstruments #daylesford #ducks #morningsun
23.01.2022 Glissando. A musical term meaning a continuous slide upwards or downwards between two notes. This gives a soaring effect, often executed on the violin. The black wings and night sky in this piece suggest a dark emotional presence, which this musical technique evokes so well. INSTRUMENTATION - a unique art exhibition inspired by musical instruments. Presented by Melbourne Music Week Extended, 1 Dec - 3 Jan, Shop 4/240 Little Collins St. and online at our website www.wildwoodinstruments.com.au #wildwoodinstruments #melbournemusicweek #melbourneart #melbourneexhibition #glissando #violin #artexhibition #art #melbournewhatson #melbournemustdo #artcollector #contemporaryart

It would really help this small business immensely. Stay safe and hope we all pull through. #wildwoodinstruments #guitar #guitarmaking #guitarmakingcourse #daylesford #smallbusinessvictoria
20.01.2022 Eye Of The Tiger. The traditional orange colour of classical guitars lends itself beautifully to this artwork. Based on the famous song this piece was created by cutting out the stripes and filling the body with plush black velvet. The eye is a glass orb, giving it a realistic effect. This sculpture will be on display at INSTRUMENTATION - a unique art exhibition inspired by musical instruments. Co-presented by Melbourne Music Week Extended. 1 Dec - 3 Jan Shop 4/240 Little Co...llins St. Melbourne, and online at www.wildwoodinstruments.com.au/instrumentationcomingsoon Hope you can make it! #wildwoodinstruments #melbournemusicweek #melbourneexhibition #melbourneart #instrumentation #melbournelife #melbournetodo #melbournearts #melbourneartscene #melbournemusic #artcollector #art #sculpture #guitar #australianart #australianartist #eyeofthetiger

16.01.2022 Kazoontite - This artwork is in response to our current situation. A golden kazoo sneezing! It doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are, COVID-19 doesn’t discriminate. The slightly translucent glass blurs the image which symbolises the confusion and misinformation surrounding the epidemic, leading to fear and panic. This is a piece from my postponed exhibition, Instrumentation. Hopefully it will be rescheduled for November, so stay tuned for that announcement! #wildwoodinstruments #covidart #art #musicart #kazoo #australianart #australianartists
15.01.2022 Ends Kenny performing on a Wildwood guitar at the Instrument Makes Concert at Port Fairy Folk Festival.
14.01.2022 Three Quarters. This artwork is a reference to the time signature 3/4, where there are three beats to the bar. A 3/4 sized guitar was used in this piece, that has been divided into three equal parts. Third tim(ing) lucky! Soon to be on display at INSTRUMENTATION - a unique art exhibition inspired by musical instruments. Co-presented by Melbourne Music Week Extended, 1 Dec - 3 Jan, Shop 4/240 Little Collins St. Melbourne and online at www.wildwood instruments.com.au #instrumentation #wildwoodinstruments #melbournemusicweek #melbournearts #guitar #melbournemusic #melbourneartscene #melbourne #melbournepopups #melbourneart #melbourneexhibition #australianartist #timesignature

08.01.2022 Today would have been the opening of my exhibition INSTRUMENTATION but alas, it is not to be! Once this pesky pandemic passes us by and we prevail, this exhibition will see the light of day. Something to look forward to. I know there are some posters out there and articles in the local papers recently advertising it but it is definitely postponed. No free champagne and mingling to be had here! Stay well and we shall see you on the other side!
