Castlemaine Art Festival 2016 - WORA March Exhibit

 Organic Plastic 




Working away at completing works for The Castlemaine Arts Festival

'Organic Plastic' is a curated show in boxed framed white windows @ Wide Open Road Art (WORA) cnr Hargraves & Mostyn Sts from March 5th

For a while I have been toying with this idea of framing together nature and found objects. I am slighlty (that is an understatement) exited by the prospect of seeing the works coming together and hung next month (March 5th) in Castlemaine

Please come along for celebrating this exhibition

Oceans

Oceans is a 2009 film by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, narrated by the handsome Pierce Brosnan. Although you can only hear him. It took 4 years to film all the material needed to make 'Oceans'.

Plastic Portraits

These portraits in a sense interrogate our social landscapes of consumption I have been traveling for a month long everyday  from Bethesda - Friendship Height metro station to Rhode Island stop and then take the bus down to 34th St off Rhode Island avenue twice a day. During these trips I had the occasion to see all kind of characters coming in and out of the bus and being the minority aboard the bus in this area. These rides gave me the opportunity to try something I had wanted to try for a while.  Making portraits out of single-use plastic waste.  So this artist residency at the Red Dirt Studio as well as the plastics found on the streets around the studio was the perfect time and allowed me to do this side project. Like sketches for further enquiry these portraits were done as preliminary drawing studies for further enquiries when I am back home.
