Derived from acts of abstract architectural composition, they are then exhibited publicly to test the idea that the subtle and coded languages of architecture are as universally recognisable as the the building blocks of the popular children’s to from which the works are made.
 
The strange resonant familiarity of the tablets oscillates between the platonic, almost primal, recognisability of Lego, and a romantic idea of architecture. More importantly, they resonate with the prosaic and often unnoticed coded languages of the built form that surround all of us every day.

The project takes coded architectural languages beyond the medium od building. To facilitate this the works are accompanied by a book, a series of limited edition large and small scale framed prints, NFTs, postcards, and stamps.

The works, and their accompanying collateral have been published in Australian newspapers, television, and radio, and an Australia Council for the Arts research reports. They have been exhibited in eighteen group or solo shows in Australia. The bulk of the works made to date exist within private collections located arccos the globe.

Lost Tablets are on display in the virtual Italian Pavilion of the Venice Biennale of Architecture.

Lost tablets are listed on Artsy with Alfa Gallery in Miami.
