April
was a giant month for me. We went back to China for 12 days, started
my long service leave heading toward retirement , came back to do Art
Melbourne with Serigraph Gallery and BSG gallery where we sold lots of
work and did work for the red exhibition.
is piece is from the old song Red sails in the sunset.

this was a piece for the RED exhibition and it sold during that exhibition.
It is me playing with my new plasma cutter and creating the word Read which
can be read as red ( well sort of). I mounted it on a book form and in
playing with how to present it it looked more dynamic on an angle and this
is also practical as it allows any water to run off/out. |
One of my friends is an an unstoppable traveller and she asked for a
piece to be made for her. I made this little determined girl( it has a back
pack to) and we decided to call her INTREPID. |
this is a commission to do a pair of people from a photo for their combined
40th. It is life size although I think I might have been a bit harsh to the
man. He looks a touch older! |
a gate commission. |
When we went to China, someone bought a hat with a star on it. When we came
home I made a bigger shiny version with lots of junk behind it as I feel
this is how the chinese present much of their society. All front but very
chaotic behind . Need less to say it is part of the RED exhibition |
I have been enjoying using colour as part of my work and I made this
slightly surreal piece and called iitted well with the Red exhibition but I
had forgotten I had listed it to go to the Mirboo North Art Show. I rapidly
made a female airhead too but that is in Mays work. |
This piece spins on an axle. The sides spell out the letters to make RED so
doubling this makes REDDER |
This was a big piece as a commission. |
for the Red exhibition I did this combination of Magic carpet and red
carpet. It has great movement as you walk past it |
