Terrarium (Kokerium) Artist
Darkinjung Country, Central Coast NSW Australia
I acknowledge and thank Gosford Regional Gallery for their support of me as a non-conventional artist, as well as my inspiration Sumihiro Sonoda 園田純寛 and his team at Koke-musubi, for their great work in advancing Japanese terrariums as an artform. Please visit them in Kamakura (near Tokyo) if you go to Japan.
