Everyone has a history. My history informs my practice. Here is a glimpse into past practice, or just my life.

My exhibition: October 2013

I’m working towards an exhibition in October at the Ensemble Theatre in Kirribilli, in the Foyer Gallery space. Rough dates are October 15 to November 17, 2013.

Thanks to the intervention of my good friend Bill Young—who introduced me to this opportunity—I now have a deadline to work to. Somewhat ironically, it is Bill who forged the way at the Kirribilli Pub Theatre all those years ago, when I got my first chance to do scenic painting, and fell in love with the meshing of visual arts and theatre. It really seems like a good fit now to be exhibiting in a theatre, and more to the point in Kirribilli!

My exhibition will be on during two performance seasons: CAMP by Gary Baxter (directed by Mark Kilmurry) and  RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN by Gina Gionfriddo (directed by Sandra Bates).

My work will include paintings, giclée prints and mixed media/assemblage. With a refreshed aesthetic and some added vim post-holiday, I’ll be pulling together work done pre-Japan with both new and analogous works.

Freaky Friday

We have a small installation of rabbits. Chris really likes them—it’s his collection. One day we will build a house with a dedicated room for the rabbits.

Today’s daily prompt is: If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

If I could, I would be one of our rabbits. Occasionally, one rogue rabbit will have wanderlust and leave the pack. I come downstairs and notice one is missing. It takes a while to find him as he is always semi-hidden; on top of cupboards, behind objets, under a chair leg. But he gets into places I can’t go and the world from his view must be very interesting.

I’d like to be someone else for a day but I don’t want a human’s eyes and brain and the baggage that goes with that. I’d like porcelain eyes and grey space for a brain.
