Explosion of Colour, Old Schoolhouse Gallery Cleveland

Labyrinth series

Banana Blossom Bowl

I am a featured artist of a new exhibition at the Old Schoolhouse Gallery in Cleveland called Explosion of Colour.. The exhibition is a collaboration of works between 2D artist Grayden W Scott and myself which reflect the idyllic lifestyle of costal culture, they are bold and colourful. This exhibition will run from the 6th to 22nd Jan

My new work was inspired by the banana blossom growing in the backyard which slowly revealed the fingers of banana's growing down the stem. Due to the flood and cyclones in qld, my green banana's where $16 a kilo which made me appreciate what l had growing in my garden.

My porcelain bowls in orange and blue handpainted designs where inspired labyrinths, mazes and crop circles.

In.cube8r Gallery

I have an exciting opportunity to set up a cube exhibition space at In.cube8r Gallery 368 Brunswick St Fortitude Valley. Thanks to Fusions for organising this space for their members.

This afternoon l practiced displaying my work in a 40cm x 40cm space to create a eye catching aesthetical pleasing design. I will have all my new work available which  will include my pomegranate vases,  my " Journey" series which are hand formed pod boats with porcelain bowl,  my "Impression" series which are porcelain bowls with leaf designs impressed into the clay, my "Entrapment" series which are pitcher plant inspired sculptures in red suede glaze.

I will be arranging the display this weekend and they will be at in.cube8r until January 12th 2012.

Photo's will be uploaded soon.

Reflections of nature exhibition

This is a collaboration of art works from 4 artists Angie Archibald, Karen Cipressi, Michelle Goodchild and myself.  We have booked the Richard Randall Art Studio at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens on the 7th, 8th and 9th October.

My work is visually influenced by my surroundings which is inspired by natures textures, colours and movement then reinterpreted into sculptural and functional forms.

l am madly sanding, glazing, firing like a mad woman with the realisation that there is only 1 month until the opening.  I am a mix of focused calm, nervous anticipation and screamable excitment.

Im trying to upload flyer though having trouble, hmmmm.
