Board Book 3 Holiday in the country

 This is part 3 of an altered book project. The inspiration was to turn children's board books into altered books. I have enjoyed doing them in the past, and this return to the form was very satisfying.

Postcards for Palestine Finding Hope fund raiser

 I have been busy making postcards (size A6) for a fundraiser Finding Hope organised by artist Hannah Lewis. (IG hannahs_paddock). They will be for sale at Abbotsford Convent on September 13th and 14th September. (details below)

As inspiration I used the concept of Kintsugi the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold, silver of platinum mixed with lacquer.

As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. A key concept is resilience: the repaired object is stronger than before.

Art for All at Fairfield Primary School

I am looking forward to the Art for ALL exhibition at Fairfield Primary School this weekend.

It is always a great event, with lots of variety among the works by a range of artists.

Four of my works will be there!

 

Winter Arts Salon

I am so looking forward to the opening night of the Alphington Community House Winter Art Salon tomorrow night. There is always such a terrific range of works on display, and it is a lovely community event.

Big thanks to the staff and volunteers who make it happen.
