Ceramic - Ceramic, acrylic paint, gold lustre and mix media, Bundit Puangthong et al, FLESH, 2018
In creating these pieces, Vipoo Srivilasa initiated the process by sculpting three figures with bare surfaces. Bundit Puangthong then added his artistic touch by painting each sculpture. The artists' conceptual visions harmonized perfectly, especially considering their shared commitment to Buddhist principles, which frequently inspire their respective artistic practices. After Bundit completed his painting, Vipoo enlivened the pieces by adding eyes to the figures. He also embellished the works with pom-poms, lending them a softness that makes them appear both approachable and innocent, despite the weightiness of their themes. Each sculpture embodies a specific teaching from Buddhism: "FLESH" features a golden umbrella, serving as a metaphor for sex. -

Programme, University of Ballarat Arts Academy, The City Wit, 2007
15356.1 'The City Wit' directed by Kim Durban and performed by University of Ballarat Performing Arts Academy students in 2007. This play was first written by Richard Brome, c1630 and takes a cynical view of greed and money. Kim Durban has chosen to set the play in 'a fictional present , loosely influenced by pop music, glam rock, the 70's and the world of the backstage pass.' Brome's courtly world becomes a club known as 'The Presence'. Design by John Bennett, Lighting by Emma Valente, Costumes by Esther Hayes. Cast: Crasy - Peter Glennon, Jeremy - Kelly Petering, Sarpego - Sarah Douglas-Haynes, Josina-Megan Parker, Toby - Nicole O'Meara, Linsey-Wolsey - Charin Blacker, Bridget - Adam Wiliams, Sneakup - Cameron Swain, Ticket - Heath Ramsay, Lady Ticket - Naomi Logan, Rufflit - Paul Yardley, Tryman - Kelly Petering, Crack - Elise Moorhouse, Isabell/Page Boy - Lauren-Anne Kempster and Jone - Ekaterina Schukina.

There is also biography on the work of Kim Durban, and a list of people making up the Creative Team. 15356.2 'The Sunny South' by George Darrell, directed by Stewart Morritt.
