MEDIA: interview: how vandal set the sydney opera house sails alight with radical, queer art
I had the wonderful pleasure of leading the VANDAL team in adapting the incredible and wonderfully queer artwork of the late David McDiarmid in collaboration with the executor of his estate, Sally Gray for the unique sails of the Sydney Opera House.
We reinterpreted and animated some of his most iconic art works to fit the form of the Opera House sails, celebrating his unique aesthetic and voice for VIVID Sydney 2025. Designed for architectural projection, this has been the second time I have produced the landmark Sydney Opera House projections for VIVID - and it never gets any less exciting. This one was particularly emotional for me, to have played a part in bringing this unflinchingly honest work to life.
