Petrach's Bath

Concept design for a sit bath

Finalist in the Reece Innovation Bathroom Awards 2006

Named after the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) the visual appeal and design of the bath draws on the life and legacy of Petrarch – a figure of great historical note, he conceptualised the phrase 'Dark Ages' and is credited with inspiring the humanist philosophy, which led to the intellectual flowering of the Renaissance.

In time. Royal Exhibition Gardens, Melbourne 2006

In autumn the historic grounds of the Royal Exhibition Buildings in Melbourne turn a carpet of orange and brown. This landscape is often blown south into the city grid with leaves amassing in the corridors, doorways and foyers of the financial district. In time is a performance conducted in the early hours of the last Friday in autumn in 2006, wearing a self-made suit of cardboard armor LeAmon works tirelessly to rake the few remaining leaves in the grounds of the Royal Exhibition Buildings into a large pile. A work about time, labor and the temporal encounters in life of which we are destined to experience over and over.

Post Object Confession: Head Light 2006, Melbourne

Late on a winters evening in 2006 LeAmon stripped down to her bikinis outside the Euroluce Lighting showroom in Russel Street Melbourne. Placing a minor’s light on her head she walked through the city streets and beyond to her home in the inner suburb of Abbotsford. In Post Object Confession #5 LeAmon exposes herself to the elements and walks the city limits to bring the light home. A performance about light and shadow LeAmon’s small frame appears on video courtesy of urban and commercial lighting whilst her own eyes perform like lamps, unable to see the shadows she casts.
