 More April work

April 2

reds under the bedThis did this piece as a play on the phrase reds under the bed.( a bit of China still!)  butterflyg irl I did two versions of the butterfly girl.I saw a logo for a jazz festival and the butterfly characters were just standing . Mine at least fly!
  rain girl 2I had done a rain girl once before but at Art Melbourne someone said they would like one with a red umbrella so of  suggested i do one for the Red exhibition. stop Stop is a combination of a character from the Inspired exhibition and the pram from a new direction. Their relationship suggests that like King Canute trying to stop tide the toughest authoritarian figure can't stop us getting older. The red of a stop sign is captured by the baby carriage and I think it works well.
 Dorothy I reckon I got this one almost perfect. There is a lovely young teacher at school who has a great collection of shoes. She had a spectacular pair of red shoes and of course this suggested itself for the exhibition. Having got the pose just right I called her Dorothy to reference the red shoes in the Wizard of Oz( apparently in the book they were silver but technicolor suggested Red was a better choice!)
