Lawrence Pike performed at Mils gallery, a small emerging artists venue in Sydney in December 2009, I was lucky enough to hear about it and be in town for it. It was very interesting to see a yougner generation witness his craftsmanship on the drums, I don’t think many of them knew what they were about to see or how incredible he is. Thanks Mr L Pike for the lesson. Lawrence has been in many bands, my favourite was Triosk, but Pivot aren’t bad either ;)

2 wonderful exhibits on at the Object Gallery in Surryhills/Darlinghurst, Sydney

http://www.object.com.au/#/node/20/ an exhibition of Jeff Mincham’s astonishing ceramic artworks/masterpieces
this is wonderfully inspiring craftsmanship. and beautifully shown with great words written about the subjects and themes in Jeff’s work. thank you Object Gallery

Second is the Precious Pendants exhibit, http://www.object.com.au/#/node/22/ amazing little worlds, created to reflect or reveal the owners innerness.. and amazing array of techniques and materials used. a must see for any lover of object design. some of the pieces made me think of the illustrations of Shaun Tan, how he creates little other worlds within our world that speak to us more clear than what we can see for ourselves
