I found an exhibition on the net in New York and they wanted 6 pieces. I
decided that this would be one of them . I called it father and son. I did a
box type bird for the Meeniyan show and I thought a box type father would be
fun. As it was I did more than the required 6 and this was one that was not
sent. It is now on show at Kongwak Gallery
.This is the piece I made earlier called where I grew up and here it is on
show at the Box Hill Community Arts Centre. ( just inside the door) in the
show called "Home" It didn't sell and I think I am happy about
that for I want to do a show of works based around my childhood.
I keep playing with hearts in the chairs and this was a rather big hear
filled with junk It looks quite impressive.This is on show at Town and Country Gallery Yarragon
The
school production was on and I offered to help with the props. One thing
they needed was a large birdcage to hold a child.
My friend Neville dropped by after clearing up a friends property and had a
lovely pile of junk metal. He had one piece which was labelled Massey and
Ferguson on what was an old horse harness? Anyway we kept that as the label
at the top and I used the other bits he brought me to make a set of shelves
for him
Another
flight of Fancy for a galleryThis is on show at Town and Country Gallery Yarragon.
I started playing with clowns as it gave me a chance to use the red for
noses and also the stainless steel wool for hair. I liked the idea of
stilts( still following the "up" theme I guess)This is on show at Serigraph Gallery Neerim Sth
The second clown is also up and I enjoyed shaping his feet as well. Will
anyone buy them ? It will be interesting to see.
Jenny Murray-Jones is leaving DSC and going to teach Graphic design at
Deakin Uni. Jenny has been a good friend and a lot of help to me in the past
especially in graphic matters. I decided to make her a seat as a reminder
and I included an image of her little dog and other things appropriate to
Jen. She is a lovely gentle and kind lady
I am still playing at making owls and other pieces and I have made at least
4 owls, 10 dogs and 6 birds as part of my work load so far this month. Some
have gone to the Frances Keevil Gallery in Sydney
