that means the post-production has started. I'm already working on mapping all the textures onto the new sculpture, and I'll be writing a soundtrack for it -- in VR of course -- sometime this coming week! 🧵

Days have blurred into a week or so, it's been busy at Arts Space Ballarat! Here are some nice pictures from the last week or so, & an update on the brand new VR artwork I've been sculpting live in the gallery! The sculpt is now finished, BUT THAT MEANS...🧵

Work on the new artwork continues in between zingers...
Wanna see what it looks like? I'm about half way through the sculpt now. Drop by and have a look! Not in Ballarat? No worries! I'll unveil the artwork at the end of the exhibition virtually/online as well. <3

Day 9 at Arts Space Ballarat. Lots of walk-ins, w/ lots of poetic & philosophical questions. Was interesting to have deep conversations on the nature of the universe, power, equality, & reality w/ visitors to the exhibition.

Day #7 at Art Space Ballarat. 🙂 I often wish there were 2 of me to get all the things done. This video must be wishful thinking...

Day #6. Busy busy busy today! Lots of other artists & old friends dropping by today, both locally & from Melbourne. Got some work done on the new VR artwork before lunch, but really enjoyed demonstrating how it all worked to a few interested parties!

Want to see what it looks like? You’ll have to drop in and see it in person. Open Wed–Sun, 11am–4pm, until Jan 25.
Don't worry if you're not local -- wait til it's finished & I'll do a grand reveal eventually, virtually. <3

The new VR artwork is really starting to take shape! For anyone who thinks the computer does it all for you: it absolutely does not. These virtual sculptures take many sessions, days, weeks. Every strand of hair is sculpted by hand.

Day #5 at Arts Space Ballarat for Torn Textures & Hybrid Glyphs was Boxing Day. I expected slow foot traffic, but it ended up being much busier than I thought! Wound up having some nice long conversations with some interesting local artists who came in, curious about wtf is this?

One of the cool things about the XR Elite are the built-in diopters, so I can set it to my prescription myself. No glasses needed underneath the headset. I got a lot done on the artwork & met a few people before closing for Christmas Day.

Because I was anticipating a longer sculpting session today, I used my HTC XR Elite instead of the Quest 3. Both headsets do different things well, but the XR Elite is lighter & I find it better suited for extended work sessions, personally.

Day #4 at Arts Space Ballarat was Christmas Eve (so, I'm posting late now). I expected slower foot traffic, which meant more time to focus on sculpting in VR & creating live in the gallery. Made good progress on the new artwork!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend the Australian XR awards tonight as I’m currently working onsite at my solo exhibition, “Torn Textures & Hybrid Glyphs”, now in its first week at Arts Space Ballarat.
Both Corpus Spectralis & Ouroboros are on display.

WOW! Today has been *a day* & 2025 has been quite the year. I’m thrilled to share that “Corpus Spectralis” has won the Best in Digital Art Award at the Australian XR Awards, announced tonight in Melbourne.
Because there are similarly named XR events, a quick clarification follows in the thread. 🧵

Good news for Ballarat though 👀
Both “Ouroboros” and “Corpus Spectralis” are screening here as well, at the same time. Drop in, have a look, and ask me questions about process, meaning, or why there are so many snakes…

Day #3 of “Torn Textures & Hybrid Glyphs” at Arts Space Ballarat ✨
Wishing for a teleportation device today, because the Australian XR Festival is also on in St Kilda — where I’m thrilled to have 2 works selected as finalists in the Digital Art category: “Ouroboros” & “Corpus Spectralis”.
