14 & 15 SEPTEMBER
Exploring the medium of recycled cardboard, this workshop will guide participants through a variety of sculptural techniques with an emphasis on accessibility and play.
Focused around a mask making project, the workshop will address how to think three dimensionally and how best to realise 3D forms in different ways, embracing the flexibility of cardboard as a medium. Participants will also consider how we employ abstraction in the representation of features, and how the material and its limitations can guide us in that process.
Simon makes sculptures from recycled cardboard. In 2026 Simon will work as the Creative in Residence at the UTS Library as well as Artist in Residence at the State Library of NSW.
Exhibitions include solo shows “Karton Garten" at Branch3D (2025), “Here be Dragons” at the Woolahra Gallery (2024/2025) and “Cardboard Menagerie” at the Chrissie Cotter Gallery (2023), as well as an installation in the Newtown Art Seat for the Inner West Council, “Cardboard Carousel” (2024).
Simon has also collaborated with Catherine Martin and Baz Lurhmann on an installation for the New York bar Monsieur, featured in Vogue (2025)
