14 & 15 SEPTEMBER
Explore the medium of recycled cardboard through a variety of sculptural techniques, with an emphasis on accessibility and play. Centred around a mask-making project, this workshop investigates how to think and build in three dimensions, embracing the flexibility of cardboard as a medium. Along the way, you'll consider how abstraction shapes the representation of features, and how the material's limitations can guide the creative process.
Simon makes sculptures from recycled cardboard. In 2026, he will work as Creative in Residence at the UTS Library and Artist in Residence at the State Library of NSW.
Exhibitions include solo shows "Karton Garten" at branch3D (2025), "Here Be Dragons" at the Woollahra Gallery (2024–2025) and "Cardboard Menagerie" at the Chrissie Cotter Gallery (2023), as well as "Cardboard Carousel" (2024), an installation in the Newtown Art Seat for the Inner West Council.
Simon has also collaborated with Catherine Martin and Baz Luhrmann on an installation for the New York bar Monsieur, featured in Vogue (2025).
