The studio beckons but it has just been too cold out there today – sorry this image is a bit blurry but it is taken looking from my kitchen into the studio. Some life drawings on the wall from last week and an old ceramic figure (12 months old) that I have just started painting. 
When caryatids fly the coop – are they banished to the fringe ? A new make-over – bigger wings, some stitched coverings and a new ride!
Where do you wear your heart? – new additions to the caryatid family. Fired and finished ready to take down the gold coast on friday.
Just finishing some new pieces to take down the Gold Coast on Friday
hopefully a new gallery will be interested.
My exhibition ends tomorrow and I am looking forward to bringing some of the pieces home. Below are a couple of installation stills of the caryatids.
Apologies for not posting anything for the last few weeks – I have been busy but perhaps more importantly I have had the second cataract removed from my eyes.
Having been all but monocular for the last few months has been a bit challenging but I am very fortunate that my eyesight has now been restored. And yes I can see all the wrinkles.
Having a really good week in the studio finished another caryatid – and she is ready for the fire.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a sketch book entry ‘waiting for David’ I have started work on the individual pieces below.
Another trip to Noosa Gallery today to meet the press – a television programme called ‘the great south-east’ was doing an article on the gallery and they were kind enough to invite me along – as my work is currently in the gallery – programme airs in June. Maybe my stars are beginning to line up 🙂
reposting the sketchbook entry below
We are all done and dusted – monday morning saw us delivering the work to Noosa Regional Gallery. If I thought my task of getting everything there safely was an ordeal – the gallery staff were exhibiting a well oiled machine. In two days they de-installed two huge exhibitions and installed four new shows. A huge thank-you to their professionalism and capability and curatorial prowess in making my small contribution a pleasure to view.
I am attempting to upload a video of the installation via vimeo – the link below is to a vimeo file
installation – drawer(n) from life
Opening night and artist talk have all gone off without a hitch – now I clean the house!!!
I have waxed and polished the drawers and glued the girls in place (I envisage at night they poke their heads out and have a chin wag) now all I have to do is pack the whole lot up for delivery monday. Here are some pics of the final two.
The above caryatid is suspended inside the drawer. Part of her head and body is covered in scrim and then waxed.
