Worlds embrace, cross, conflict and collide.
My world, your world, the world outside.
The world around us, worlds beyond us.
In which world do you reside?
The world we live in, the world we once knew
Would we could capture worlds, bring them to view.

More from Space to Place


This is a proposal I am putting together for the upgrade of gardens at the Health Sciences Faculty, Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg. The gardens are currently planted with a variety of medicinal plants in raised beds, along with paving and some seating. The new design seeks to provide a more rationalised use of the space, increased seating, more shade and overall a more harmonious sense of place for both students and visitors to the University. I have not been awarded the job yet but I am putting together some visuals to show what the new design might look like in preparation for a meeting with the Dean of the faculty. I hope I get the job.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

I started singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star some time ago and it evolved into a Christmas song. This is a live recording of a technical rehearsal for the Christmas Concert in Stephanopark on Saturday 3rd December. Thought you might like to hear it. Sorry about the background noise, people were setting up things in the hall at the same time.

Space to Place: Stephano Sentrum

Here are some images of a design I did not long ago for the landscaping at a new development being built by Mark Floor here in Vanderbijlpark. The 3D images (the ones that look like photos) showing what the development will look like once it is complete, were produced by Ben Snowball and Will Dalley. They have some talent I think, don't you?
