Carolyn Cardinet: Visual Art Blog

While jet lagged I am writing a quick note to say that am back online and in the flesh in Australia. I have seen new and old sites that took my breath away, I have laughed and been myself as I had not done in many years, I have enjoyed and discovered many foods, I have seen many old friends and family and encountered and befriended people from all parts of the globe, I have been on adventures on uncharted territories and left traces of my passage there through my art installation but most of all I blessed my time overseas...France-Spain-Portugal you unveiled your true European beauty and it is with this message of gratitude that in the next posts I will reveal the works I could achieve whilst away in my artist residency in Spain at Can Serrat at the bottom of this gigantic mountain 'Montserrat'.

Whaaaat! but just for a few weeks as am off to an artist residency in Spain I am getting exited to inpregnate myself with my new surroundings culture and art while bathing myself in this new autumn sunlight. I shall be off the grid for the next 6 weeks and will let you know all about it upon my return... Hasta la Vista! Meanwhile...

It is that time of the year again and I am getting prepared to go on my 2016 Can Serrat artist residency in Spain at the bottom of Mount Serrat 40kms away from Barcelona this September. I am very excited to refresh my artist soul, fill my image library and see what else is out there plus visit my family and friends in Paris and later on in Portugal. I will be developing new series influenced by my surroundings as I would like to surrender to my new environment and I cannot wait to show you the results as I will go dark for the next 6 weeks and will live a life of serenity without any social media (so she says)... Upon my return, I will hang a large work in 'Immerse'.Thisexhibition program, features acclaimed and emerging artists. 30 exhibitions over 30 days in 30 venues divided between 6 curators in Knox city so keep your ears open...
