Here she comes!

Collage 42 x 29.7cm
Well I have finally finished this one.  I have been making all sorts of cardboard silhouettes and signs for our open weekend at Oneplus2artiststudio Rozelle.  It has been a lot of fun but I'm also glad that I have finally finished this work: even the subjects have been waiting!

Threads

Collage 29.7 x 42cm
This is a little more experimental than the collages I have been making, motivated largely by finding a photo of a ball of wool.  That set off thoughts to do with Ariadne's thread, problem solving, creativity...

Coffee pot

Collage 42 x 29.7cm
This collage fought me every inch of the way.  Clearly, I didn't think the composition out properly to start with and paid the price.  However, with a lot of support and advice from the lovely fellow artists in our studio I got there in the end.

At the gallery whilst the world burns

Collage 42 x 29.7cm
The G7 summit has just finished.  Meanwhile the Amazon rain forest is up in flames, most illegally lit so the forest can make way for beef.  So these were some of the world issues going on in the back of my mind.

Lotus leaves

Collage 21 x 29.7cm
This is based on a photo I took of lotus at Ueno.  They had finished flowering but I loved how the leaves were blowing in the breeze; so animated before they died back and sunk into the mud.

Grey Vase

Collage  29.7x 21cm

The image itself is false, a mere desire,
Not faded, if images are all we have.
They can be no more faded than ourselves.
Wallace Stevens, ‘Study of Images’ I (1954)
