Daniel Barbera, a designer and maker with a decades long practice in industrial/furniture design, will show his sculptural glass work alongside interdisciplinary artist Tom Blachford, showing his first ever series of sculpture. 

Both artists employ highly iterative processes in contrasting methods; one using tactile traditional processes, the other integrating computer aided fabrication technologies. 

Melanie Beynon Architecture and Design will host this event and talkwith artist Tom Blachford in their bespoke Prahran studio.

The Ride.

Shot in Palm Springs last march just a couple of hours before the eclipse turned the moon blood red.

Even after 13 years this series is still magic to make, standing in the dim light of the moon struggling to see and then THIS pops up on the back of the camera, full of life and colour that are just beyond what our brains can perceive.

For years i dreamed of a shot with more than 2 cars in it but i could never quite get my head around the logistics. Last year i Finally made this happen thanks to my original angel in Palm Springs @chrismenrad who has been the most amazing supporter since he welcomed me into his home as a guest in 2014. He generously left the keys out to 4 of his gorgeous cars for me to play with for the night. This was taken around 10:30pm with the moon almost fully overhead. A rare view of the snow capped mountains perfectly frames this Twin Palms scene with a small cameo from @ryanrichards92 1959 lincoln.

Los Robles Mustang, A new image from Midnight Modern Series VII captured in Palm Springs last march. I had previously shot this home in 2017 but was delighted to find the new owners had this gorgeous blue mustang. This original Charles Dubois designed home features over 40 manicured Palms on the property which have to be trimmed and maintained each year by a crew of brave and talented climbers.

356 At Ceres (Arrival). The first new image from Midnight Modern VII shot last march in Palm Springs. This was captured at 10pm around 30 minutes before the lunar eclipse which covered the moon completely, leaving only a blood red glow which completely ruined my shoot for the rest of the night. All that was left to do was enjoy some champagne with the lovely owners of this house and car as well as their neighbors who ended up graciously hosting me a few nights later for the rest of my stay. Palm Springs hospitality is truly second to none.

In 1985 a poor fisherman in the Alaskan town of Radford Ridge discovered a strange substance when drilling a new bore hole. Testing confirmed it was Ironium, an ultra valuable rare earth metal crucial in the production of batteries, microchips and transistors. The town voted to equally share the spoils of the bounty. As the mining royalties accrued the town became fabulously rich with all the residents able to afford mega homes and the rarest Supercars. By 1990 a race had begun to outdo each other in the creation of homes in the burgeoning new style of post-modernism, adorned with neon, historical elements and wild random geometries.

These are some of those homes. I bring you, Midnight Post-Modern

“Influorescence”: Taking its name from the portmanteau of inflorescence and fluorescent the series represents the first collaborative fine art release from creative and life partners Kate Ballis and Tom Blachford. The series captures flowers grown by the couple in their garden in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Each bloom was grown from bulb or seed and selected amongst its peers to be the most evocative specimen.

The results and process by which the images are captured has captivated both artists and allowed them to explore their shared love of using photography to make the unseen, seen.

Each bloom, cut on just the right day is brought into their pitch black home studio and subjected to a large amount of ultraviolet light, specifically 365nm, invisible to both the human eye and the camera used to capture these images. The flowers absorb this powerful energy, in turn changing its frequency and re-emitting it within the visible spectrum as a faint ethereal glow of colour, almost imperceivable to the human eye. The camera, fixed on the flower uses long exposures to drink in this ghostly warmth.

Each image requires up to 100 of these exposures in order to capture the full depth and detail of each bloom, which are then stitched together to create the final image.

The results are reminiscent of galaxies far away, twinkling with stars of dust and exploding with pollen supernovas. The artworks are named after stars and galaxies rather than the botanical name of the flowers.

We are heading into winter in the southern hemisphere and the leaves in our garden have turned and are falling but we are preparing all the bulbs and seeds ready for springtime 🍃
Our garden is a constant source of inspiration, grounding, magic and relaxation. Fairies do live there 🧚
Each pieces from “Influorescence” is available at 150cm x 120cm, edition of 8. International shipping is available.
