The above piece was part of a birthday

present for my brother.

Above: A lamp decoration made of
wire, paper and black ink.

I made this lamp with two very cheap

salad bowls I thought would work very well

for the translucent effect I wanted to obtain.

In early 2009 I was eagerly preparing a project for a Diploma in Film and TV

at The Victorian College of the Arts

more well known among Melbournians as The VCA. I had been given a title

and had to come up with a short visual account in 9 images of such title:

" The Gathering" so I thought of a story where my brother gathers all the

ingredients to make "tacos" including a "tortilla press". But to his surprise

a little alien space man takes off on his "new space craft"!
