PHOTOGRAPHER Describe yourself in five words or less. Responsibly irresponsible! Inquisitive and smiley. Describe your worst attempt at craft. A hemp friendship bracelet I made for a hippie girl I had a crush on once. If you could master one new skill, what would it be? To play a musical instrument. Describe your greatest creative achievement. In high school during year 11, I did two Japanese-style ink paintings as my major work. I finished them in the first week and my teacher was so impressed, I got a mark of 95 per cent for the year! I started to love art from that week. How is your home decorated? Functional and minimalist. What is your favourite colour and why? Mauve – I have been told I look good wearing clothes in that colour! Tell us about your earliest childhood craft memories. I made playdough by dissolving styrofoam in methylated spirits. Safety wasn’t a big concern back then, I guess! What’s the best handmade present you’ve ever received? My girlfriend made me a birthday card last year and put a lot of effort into it. Tell us an unusual or surprising fact about yourself. I’m debt free. What’s your motto in life? There’s always a bright side. Describe any ‘what was I thinking?’ purchases. I bought a guitar six months ago and haven’t played it yet. What music do you listen to while you work? Fleetwood Mac. Any amusing anecdotes? I avoided arrest numerous times in Las Vegas by assuring the police I was a member of the Aussie band, Disco Junkies.
