Hibernating is the word
This is basically what I have become but of course making lots of things during my time hibernating and this I will show you very soon. But first I am currently finishing my 5 installations for the Getrude Street Projection Festival 2016. Before finishing a large piece for the Yarra Sculpture Gallery show this month. And then we'll what could be better then having the opportunity to show in Ballarat!!! I'll keep you posted... All System go for the GSPF! Finalising the works Grand opening this Friday night and on for 10 nights!
Time to play
Extroardinary thing to be able to take this time which I am relishing indeed. For one it allowed me the time to go to workshops on basketry to expend ways of 'making' in my studio. Two to create something without a precise expectation...am even a tad bit proud of this little exercise of mine thanks to the Basketmakers of Victoria and the wonderful woman on site helping us along. This fish made a young lady very happy as it sits now proudly in her room...
Back in the studio
And happily I must say as to experience ones studio without the close pressure of an upcoming exhibition. This time allows one to experiment and test what your imagination has given you that you translated in drawing format for the past few months... So I decided and probably due to a lack of space in my studio to render & make small the many sketches i n my artist diary. Here comes a world of maquettes... However am already finding that I itch to see my new creations in a large or extra large format... Patience is a virtue they say and art has certainly put me through that test along the way.

working on maquette
Working on the sketches I have drawn in my visual diary for possible large sculpture works. I am enjoying the man-made and nature combination of my recent maquette series which I will post as resolved works as they come out of the studio.
From sketches to maquette
Playtime to Showtime And this is only the beginning... Lots of fun working out as you go from fish making to pineapple (??) making
Sculpture at Scenic World
What an experience to see your own work in a magical landscape under the tree canopy of the N.S.W. Blue Mountains. This exhibit of what sculpture is now is an extroardinary survey of public spatial practice with in the lush enclosure of an untouched forest on the side of a mountain.
