Description
Excerpted from the website:
- I landed my first real job after a year and a half at art college doing graphic art. Myer Department Stores offered me work in their divisional art section, where I worked under designer Max Hurley to create their annual animated Christmas displays. Each year, we would build elaborate settings and characters out of polystyrene and plaster, fabric and wood. The characters would be animated with electric motors, costumed and installed as a Christmas holidays feature - a great apprenticeship in extractive sculpting. I also learned scenic art and mural painting from Max, who was moonlighting as a designer for the Queensland Light and Lyric Opera. Many weekends were happily spent spattering and scumbling vast swathes of canvas and plywood.
