Although I did a piece like this last year it was a rememberance for a
teacher who died for his school. His wife and sister asked for one too and
it took me this long to get around to it. Hence I did two more seats . The
blue looks quite good in the garden. |
Another order. This one for our local community. They gave me the gate frame
before xmas but again I let it go. I cut out the shapes with the plasma
cutter and I must admit it was a real challenge to manipulate it it in the
confines of the shed!. |
This piece I wanted to get done for Art Gippsland ( warragul Rotary Art
Show) . It is called "The Key" and I love the battered nature of the big
heart which can be unlocked by the small heart handled key |
This piece nagged me by the collection of old chairs I had in my pile. Danny
Burton gave me the old chairs and they immediately told me they were flower
petals. It took a while to get it done but it looks good. My other flower
that I had here went to Ishka as part of the display for their new
display space.. |
Talking Rubbish is another piece for Art Gippsland. I had the idea of the
head shape speaking lots of rubbish which can be interpreted in all sorts of
ways. One side of the head is covered with names of the right of politics
and the other side is names from the left of politics |
I
thought I did not have enough new and interesting work for Gembrook I
had to redo all my birds and dogs but I also looked at my pile of junk
and there was this junk gear which demanded to be a ballerina. It sold
during March. |
I had a piece called "aspirants" for the Untold stories show in drouin west
and a friend saw it after it was sold and asked if I could make a similar
but smaller piece for her sons graduation. I thought I had better get it
done! |
Ros Meadmore had a show called the "Vicarchies" calling for portrait pieces.
I thought I should try to extend what I was doing with the coloured inks and
this piece is quite big. It is of my friend Bryan Whelan,, the computer
teacher at school. However when I showed it to a student and said who it was
they said "NO way" so maybe I still have further to go! |
Another table which I took to Gembrook. |
This seat also went to Gembrook and then sold next month at the harvest of
Gippsland |
