the proceeds going towards community projects, enhancing school facilities and supporting youth in the work force. His skills and imagination have allowed him to pursue his artistic ideals using repurposed and ecologically sustainable timbers to produce unique furniture and functional items for the home. Eventually relocating to Nimbin in 2015 he has continued his creative path, and regularly exhibits pieces at Blue Knob Hall Gallery and locally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As artists and artisans these two crucial elements can be one of the most challenging aspects of making art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[17,41],"class_list":["post-334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibitions","tag-17","tag-woodwork"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":928,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions\/928"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
