National Puppetry and Animatronics Summit (2003)
In October, I attended the first Australian National Puppetry and Animatronics Summit which was held at the Victorian Arts Centre, Melbourne. It featured Australian and international speakers, and a wide variety of discussions about the philosophy and practice of puppetry, animation, and animatronics. My thanks to artsACT from whom I recieved a quick release grant to help me attend the summit.

Bees (2002)
CSIRO Division of Entomology
Addition of two large bees to the display collection of insects for CSIRO Entomology. Two of the Science Festival bees were altered to become anatomically correct, with the addition of legs and more realistic eyes.
