About the project
Lost Tablets are a collection of art works testing an object/concept paradox.
Derived from acts of abstract architectural composition, the Lost Tablets are a collection of 100 objects exploring and named after the Ship of Theseus thought experiment and paradox. This paradox questions whether an object remains the same after all its original components have been replaced over time.
The tablets possess a strange, resonant familiarity that oscillates between the platonic, almost primal recognizability of Lego, and a romantic notion of architecture. More importantly, they resonate with the prosaic and often unnoticed coded languages of the built environment that surround us daily.
The project extends coded architectural languages beyond the medium of building. To support this, the works are accompanied by a book, a series of limited edition large and small-scale framed prints, NFTs, postcards, and stamps.
The works and their accompanying collateral have been featured in Australian newspapers, television, radio, and an Australia Council for the Arts research report. They have been exhibited in eighteen group or solo shows in Australia, with the majority of the works currently in private collections across the globe.
The works have received honorable mentions for art and architecture awards, featured in the inaugural Quarantine Art Fair and Melbourne Design Week, and have been displayed in the virtual Italian Pavilion of the Venice Biennale of Architecture since 2021. Additionally, they were exhibited in the Art Brussels 2024 OFF Programme, coinciding with his residency at the L'Escaut Project Space in Brussels in April of that same year.
