Four Melbourne Architects was a group show with fellow architects and friends Peter Corrigan and Maggie Edmond, Norman Day and Peter Crone.
We each had a room to display our drawings and models. There was a spare room upstairs. Into this space I stapled concentric circles of foolscap containing a stream of consciousness text that connected all that was important to me at that time – the aspirations, the doubts, the questions and the contradictions. Some critics thought this indulgent and too personal but to my young self it seemed legitimate to share, what I was experiencing as an important inner process. I needed to begin a new body of work which would see my inner life begin to find a creative relationship with my work as an architect.
The exhibition was a great catalyst to review seven years of practice and to go forward with a new enthusiasm.
