Crying Dinghy - a Spirit Recharge Vessel from the Cosmic Recharge Series 2018 A rescue boat for the human spirit, made for everyday people as a place for contemplation. A stone pillow near the bow and two giant gramophone horns channel the tears cried into the pillow to amplify them. While the vessel is built to navigate the sea of tears, once the flood of raw emotion has been released, the person themselves might feel their own inner buoyancy.

Decollete This work was initially designed for the entryway to the Tuggeranong Arts Centre. It resembles a ships bow and wave reflecting the riverside location and nautical references in the design of the Arts Centre. The work was intended to pull the building’s flat façade into the street's pedestrian space. Following changes to the Arts Centre's entryway the artwork was moved to Manning Clarke Offices, Tuggeranong in 2000.
