Working Holiday

I’m in Sydney for a couple of weeks to visit family. Happily it has turned into a working holiday as well…. 🙂 Took some impromptu photos for the Claudio Javellana Atelier, a small fashion label based in Sydney.

Claudio has quietly hand sewn and hand beaded countless wedding dresses through the years from his atelier, as well as made more up market/formal ready to wear. I’m pleased to say that we will be selling some samples from his atelier in our online stores in the coming days.

We checked the newly opened Elizabeth Quay before heading to see Gillian Welch at the Perth Concert Hall. Looks amazing and happy to see the endless digging finally over and filled in 🙂

STANLEY DONWOOD/RADIOHEAD @ Carriageworks Sydney

June 2, 2015 Atoms for Peace Carriageworks Radiohead Semi-Permanent Stanley Donwood Sydney THom Yorke

After catching the boat back to Melbourne and doing the Great Ocean Road, we decided to fly back to Sydney, before flying to Perth – just so can catch the Stanley Donwood/Radiohead show at Carriageworks. Longtime Radiohead fan here… 🙂

And to spend a little more time w/ family, before our move as well.

Gonna miss this city in many different ways….

There was a multi-track soundscape by Thom Yorke as well. Wish took a video… 🙁

Great Ocean Road #1

May 28, 2015 Great Ocean Road Melbourne Road Trip Victoria

It was a little bit rainy so the weather was a bit cold & gloomy. We drove 3/4 of the way through the 200+ kilometres of road that makes up the Great Ocean road, winding through some pretty serious cliffs, ocean and rock formation. I think it’s one of the most stunning road trips to take in the country. I mean just look at this place…

MONA Walkabout #3

May 27, 2015 Art Australia David Walshe Jannis Kounellis MONA Sidney Nolan Tasmania

Sidney Nolan’s Rainbow Serpent + Jannis Kounellis’s arte povera installation w/ coal, surrealist installation w/ knife & fish & deadly meat hook/rope noose installation 🙂 + a full metal head w/ electronics & video inside. MONA is brimming to the rafters w/ old & new art. Much has been said about it, but it is really a stunning museum – from the ferry journey to the descent via glass elevator drilled through the sandstone to the art pushing extremes. Not a bad working holiday 🙂

MONA Walkabout #2

May 27, 2015 David Walshe MONA Tasmania Travels

Ancient artefacts, some works I can’t pin to an artist from memory 🙁 but nevertheless was very interesting + a time slice video by Daniel Crooks + Queen: A Portrait of Madonna by Candice Breitz + Pausiris by Paul Bourke & Peter Morse + The Morgue by Andres Serrano – the last two, works installed in what they called The Death Room
