Never the Same
This is an artwork created in a response to the nature of remembrance and storytelling. It reflects the stories told to me of my Grandpa during the war and how he and many of the other soldiers like him changed because of their experiences at war.

Bradley’s experience as a set and prop maker has been appointed to the realm of musicals and plays. He has developed his craft through the self-pursuit of a carpentry pre-apprenticeship, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Production) at the Victorian College of the Arts where he has since become a keen prop maker and scenic painter.
Bradley’s artistic spark stemmed from a lifetime of imagination, creativity and desire to make, where the possibilities knew no bounds. It is with this eager enthusiasm that Bradley has a spring in his step when purposefully bounding around any workshop fascinated by the machinery’s endless possibilities to bring ideas to life.
