not all black and white went through the same ordeal as the previous post – colour was overlaid in watery treatments much like watercolour. She is approx. 60 cm x 40 x 30 cm
terracotta base, stains, engobe and underglazes
don’t push my buttons – came through the bisque but I was really unhappy with the result – I added more stain, more engobe and some very watery underglaze colours – put it back in the kiln and crossed my fingers. (maybe I prayed to the kiln god as well!)
terracotta and white clays, stains , engobe and underglaze approx. 40 cm x 30 cm x 25 cm.
These are some of the working drawings that I am using to develop the new series 
Great run yesterday down to the Gold Coast around 5 hours return journey. gravitas lost is a mixture of terracotta and white clay bodies, colour is stains, and engobe – once fired to 1100. 50 x 25 x 25 cm
Two more completed pieces a counterfeit obsession and falling from grace both pieces are ceramic sculpture, engobe, stains and underglaze in vintage sewing machine drawers.
New work out of the fire and ready to deliver to Anthea Polson Art at Southport Marina tomorrow. It is about a four hour round trip but absolutely worth the drive – the gallery is beautiful and full to the brim of stunning art work.
I am working on new series which includes some of the sirens but includes satyrs, sinners and the occasional saint! back in vintage machine drawers and other boxes. The first images are guile
the latter image is transgression both are mixed media assemblage , ceramic sculpture, engobe, stain, underglaze in vintage sewing machine drawers
Sometimes documenting work before they go into the fire can be a useful practice. This piece had a little explosion
and has suffered some facial damage and a missing shoulder/back section – but all is not lost and I have replaced the shoulder with a meccano structure and the damage echoes traces of life experience.
This is a big heavy piece 80 x 40 x 30 cm – a mixture of terracotta and white clay. underglaze, stains – burnished.
I will post the finished piece as soon as I can get it photographed.
Spent the day installing new exhibition at Rosebed St. Gallery – here are some gallery shots – apologies for the reflections on the glass. My sculptures and David’s drawings work well together in this space.
Trying out new media on thursday – indian ink with bamboo pen 3 x 15 min sketches on A2 cartridge
