What do you do?

I am an electronic music producer currently studying 3D animation and visual effects. I am most noted for my work recording small sounds from a specific scene or film, and sequencing them to form a new piece of music along with a video composed of the corresponding clips. I am also successful in providing design and video production services as a freelancer.

Who is in your 'creative community'?

During my film-making studies in 2007 at SAE Perth, I befriended a learned lecturer and dedicated film maker by the name of Burleigh Smith. His passion for film making, robust knowledge of script writing and relentless can-do attitude proved to me the power of persistence and self-promotion in one's artistic endeavours.

What is your 'creative footprint'?

On Thursday the 17^th September, FORM hosted a special presentation by David Sim, Director of Gehl Architects. The presentation for 120 guests at Central Park touched on some of the methodology behind Jan Gehl's work, and referenced some of the findings of the Perth Public Spaces, Public Life study published earlier in the year.

His principle message in creating a 'City for People' was to design the city in relation to the human perspective. Pointing out the grand modernist concepts of Le Corbusier and their function of alienating people from place due to their massive scale, David outlined the principles of '5km/hr architecture'. How do we build a city that is interesting and accessible for the walking - as opposed to the driving - population?

Green Drinks is an international movement of environmental professionals and 'green' individuals meeting up for informal sessions every two months. Green Drinks is mostly for people working on environmental issues, but anyone can come - people from environment groups, business, government, academia and as individuals.

Green Drinks are also Freeform. There is generally no agenda or theme, Green Drinkers mingle and share insights and provoke and exasperate and inspire and delight each other. There are moments of serendipity and a lot of 'oh, if you are interested in X then I must introduce you to that person over there who knows all about it'... All kinds of people come to Green Drinks and this is what makes for the interesting interactions.

The Perth Green Drinks are run by local designer and lecturer Wilma van Boxtel. The next event is on the 10th November at 6pm at the UWA Club. 

Self-taught Perth artist and FORM Gallery staffer Alex Lekias is presenting her first solo exhibition on the 7th October at Behind the Monkey, Highgate. Billions, Zillions and Trillions is an expression of lost control, childhood, lucid dreaming and wonderment in ridiculousness, translated into a collection of imaginative line drawings through ink and oozing watercolour.

Alex has developed a personal, illustrative drawing style, loosely influenced by a combination of 15th Century Gothic Iconic art, Aubrey Beardsley, children's literature, German Expressionist film and Japanese manga.
