Hammer & Hand is a metal & jewellery collective based in Hobart, Tasmania and Bangalow, New South Wales.

I share Tuesdays in Hammer and Hand, Bangalow with my friend and fellow member, Julio De Saxe.

We break up our day at the double bench with a little thimble full of decent Irish Whiskey and continue on our conversation

till lock-up time at 3.30pm.

Our conversations range from Philosophy, (mostly Buddhist and Anarchy), Me being the supposed Buddhist and Julio the Rat-bag, haha! We share poetry we have encountered and oft times our own.. we talk metal and Art and Consciousness, Gratitude and the profane..

This sculpture, of mine, “Tuesday” depicts the two of us across the jewellery bench.. Julio the Calm, Abiding Presence of a Bird and I the Snarling/Grinning/Cranky Dawg! It’s how we roll, dude.
