Since graduating from the National Art School in Sydney, Malcolm has been pursuing artwork that investigates both landscape and cityscape from an aerial perspective. 

Through this exploration, he has been developing his own artistic language. Malcolm is the instigator and currently the manager of the Lennox Street Studios in Newtown, which comprises 40 artist studio spaces in a formerly disused Catholic school building. The idea to create an arts studio environment came to Malcolm after he graduated; he found it difficult to find a suitable studio space at a reasonable cost, one which would allow him to further develop his skills in an artistic environment. Life with his partner, Wayne Harrison, took him to London where he showed at the Sheraton Russell Gallery in Baker Street, cementing his international success.

Poole’s 2006 exhibition at the Danks Street complex in Alexandria, Sydney was close to a sellout.
