'Special Selection'
I am posting a digital image I finished tonight. It is a work that opens a dialogue about identity, culture and memory.
The image reflects my interest in the work of Frida Kahlo. As a self-taught artist, I have learnt much about structure from her works. In 'Special Selection', I have included many layers of photographs of the model and of images from the lids of biscuit tins.
It was a treat for me to see some of Frida's paintings and drawings in the Pallant Gallery, Chichester, UK in 2011. Her works are incredibly powerful 'in the flesh'... mostly painted with tiny brushes.
Alongside her artworks, where those of her husband Diego Riviera. In this exhibition, the works of Frida shone!
Talk art soon! cx

Gatakers Artspace video bombing 2013
Gatakers Artspace held a Flood fundraiser and this resulted in a fabulous evening of entertainment, which included video bombing by Brad Marsellos and me.
We learnt quite a bit from this session...our first more public engagement.

More floods
The rains came last week. Tornadoes too. Six of them. The shrieking and howling of the wind is something I will not forget. Nor will I forget the sound of a young boy weeping for his lost toys.
We had record breaking flooding. Now it's time to clean up.
Once again, our lives are piled up in soggy heaps of domestic detritus - all over town.

New Year
2012 has been a very busy year. Amongst other events and projects for me and Dirty Linen included the following:
Cabinets and Curiosities, Fledglings, Suburban Goddess - (Pine Rivers), People are People and Suburban Insomniac, renew - (Hervey Bay), Aboriginal Elders exhibition, Open Mind, Art and food - Beyond the Still Life (Sydney), Contemporary Works on Paper, and the current permanent display. We also hosted the Brisbane Writers group, Crush's STREAM video event, and several workshops, private photo shoots and much more.
The way things are currently shaping up, it will be just as busy again this year.
I get just a little tired of hearing that there is not much happening in Bundaberg, and how we need to develop the empty spaces around town and so on. Some say Dirty Linen is too far from the central business district, in spite of the fact that DL is less than two kilometres from the Bundaberg Regional Gallery, which is right in the centre of the CBD.
We could well use more art related venues around town, but please don't forget to support Dirty Linen, which is still in its infancy. We are producing cutting edge digital projection events, quality exhibitions and other interesting events. 2013 will see experimental plays, more photographic projects, and more emphasis on music and even a fashion parade, as well as lots of great art.
It's all happening here in Bundaberg at Dirty Linen. Schedule out soon!
Till soon cx And thankyou to our many loyal supporters. All the best for 2013!
