Tiggy’s art begins with things that catch his attention: a place, a memory, an unfamiliar instrument, a shape he wants to build. Web, design, mechanical, electrical and event skills give him several ways to follow the idea.
A studio full of places
In a harbour studio, two artists bring him into a conversation about a globe, a human digital twin and a timeline of remembered journeys. Tiggy has stories to add. A point on the map leads to a job, a photograph leads to a person, and the afternoon grows around what each remembers.
Art, science and philosophy mingle in the making. The group tries out an image, rearranges the display and follows an idea none of them arrived with. Shared curiosity gives the work its energy.
The hands behind the imagination
Luke’s Caboolture automotive traineeship included servicing, brakes, steering, suspension and wheel alignment. Festival work later added the experience of helping an event take physical shape. Community web design and practical jobs carried that making into other settings.
Tiggy enjoys both the imagined object and the work of bringing it into view. A light sculpture, a digital space or an event installation offers something to share with people whose skills differ from his. Building Aura O.Z. with a team is one of his largest ambitions.
Body, mind and place/soul story
Luke maps his digital twins through body, mind and place/soul story: the physical person, the thinking person and a life remembered through places. His work history map already traces jobs, education and volunteering. A travel history map is planned.
His experience with 360-degree photography and VR adds another way to remember being somewhere. A room, a route or a view becomes more than a dot on a map. Tiggy’s flashbacks move through those remembered spaces, with people and experiences attached.
The photograph that disappeared
At Glastonbury in 2004, Luke remembers a sunshower and a rainbow reaching the Pyramid Stage while he sat near the stone circle. He photographed it on a Sony Cyber-shot. The memory card later became corrupted and the image was lost.
The memory survived the photograph. It is a vivid thread between the festival worker and the performance dream. In Tiggy’s fiction, remembered places meet new art, music and experiences.
Worlds on the workbench
Aura’s World Builder extends the scale through landscapes, planets, moons, stars and galaxies. A lifetime’s places sit beside worlds still being imagined. Tiggy’s interest is in getting amongst them: making, remembering and discovering with other people.
