FREAK OF NATURE

The first in the tree series, created in 2006.

PARROT ABSTRACT

This piece was made from 3D modelling mixed with photos I took of native Australian parrots on a trip to far north Queensland in 2012.

BLEACHED CORAL

In 2016, bleaching of coral on the Great Barrier Reef killed between 29 and 50 percent of the reef’s coral. In 2017, the bleaching further expanded to areas of the reef that were previously spared, such as the central one.

SYNTHETIC NATURE

Synthetic Nature is inspired by Australian flora and fauna. It is nature digitized. Sounds recorded in nature have been run through computers and electronically manipulated. Computer generated 3D imagery swirls and contorts to the sounds creating semi-abstract interpretations of native plants.

Below is the making of this art piece including reference, photography, sketches and 3D experiments with particles in various 3D programs.

LYRE BIRD

This bird sound animation is a snippet of a larger piece in construction. It is a recording of a Lyre Bird taken in 2015 in Olinda Victoria. The Lyre bird mimics other birds and is quite remarkable.

TASMANIA

Photos taken on an expedition to Mount Field National Park, and the Tarkine region. Photos are mixed together with 3D artwork created in Zbrush and 3dsmax and Vray
