Well for the first time in ages, almost the last two years to be exact, I have something positive to report on the artistic front.

For those of you that don’t know, 2019 (pre Covid, if you can remember that far back) proved to be an exceptionally successful year for my ceramics. In addition to winning the inaugural TAFE art prize, I also won the 2019 Outstanding Local Artist award, as part of the Hornsby Art Prize, The prize was to have been a solo exhibition at Wallarobba Arts and Cultural Centre as part of the Hornsby Art Prize 2020. This was canned because of Covid as also was the 2021 exhibition. However my exhibition is finally going ahead. March 2022, daily from Friday 11th to Sat 19th! No opening because of Covid restrictions but I’ll be there every day from 10 to 4! Hope to see you there!

I’ll be posting more material over the next couple of weeks but, for now, here is the invite.

Arts trail!

Later this month I'm taking part in the inaugural Lyrebird Arts trail, details below. I'll be at venue 2. Hope to see you there!

Re-magine

Here is my Fallen Angel currently on display as part of Hornsby council's Re-magine exhibition.

 

 

 

I actually made him several months ago and, when  I went to  get him to deliver him to Wallarobba for the art prize, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that the plastic used to make the "cloud" had started to break down. Not sure if this was caused by the glue and/or the paint or if it was designed to break down anyway.

 

I was a bit worried that he might not survive the journey however, fortunately, he did!  

He's back!

 

 

Watch out Westminster!

 

Not that I'm totally convinced that Scottish independence is the way to go but it's nice to see the SNP properly represented:)

 

North Sydney Art Prize installed!

 

 

I have just finished installing my rabbits at the Coal Loader as my entry in the North Sydney Art Prize.

Here they are

 

The exhibition opens on Saturday 7th March and runs until Sunday 22nd March.
