Feasting on Art

Hi all,

I am posting a blog by Meg Fizell, curator of the Art + Food:  Beyond the Still Life exhibition at the Brenda May Gallery in Waterloo, Sydney.   This post  from Meg's Feasting on Art blog includes a picture of my work that has been included in the show.

'Art + Food: Beyond the Still Life'

It was a long day today setting up my floor installation, 'Lifescape', at the superb Brenda May Gallery, in Waterloo, Sydney.

The work took 5 hours to complete and I think it looks beautiful in the wonderful space that was allocated for it.

The show opens tomorrow, with the official opening on this Saturday night. I'm really looking forward to meeting  the other artists in the 'Art + Food: Beyond the Still Life' exhibition.

Thanks to curator Meg Fizell  and Brenda May for giving me a wonderful opportunity! 

Government House, Sydney.

It has been a while since I posted a blog.  I have been very busy with the Bridges  exhibition,  packing for the Brenda May Gallery exhibition and I am currently in Sydney to see my eldest son, Alan receive his Commendation for Distinguished Service for his work in Afghanistan.  That happened yesterday, and it was a very moving ceremony held at Government House. Official photos will be posted later when they arrive.

 

I wrote about this award last year. You may be interested to read that post if you haven't seen it yet.  Click here.

I only wish Ben, my younger son could have been there,  but being as far away as Alpha made it too difficult on top of work commitments.

Today I went out to Waterloo to the Brenda May Gallery,  to meet curator of the 'Art + Food: Beyond the Still Life,  Meg Fizell and Gallery Director, Brenda May.  I will be back in Sydney at the end of the month to set up my work for the exhibition that starts October 2nd.

The gallery is beautiful and a marvellous space has been allocated for my work.  It will be another very exciting time.

Brenda May Gallery

I am just so excited about my inclusion in the Brenda May Gallery group exhibition 'Art + Food - Beyond the Still Life' this October.
It is such a wonderful opportunity to take a work to Sydney a beautiful city...and to Waterloo which is apparently dotted with various galleries.   Rebecca Pearson, a Sydney artist will come to meet me and to see the exhibition.  I have come to know her through her participation in the 'Just Ideas' exhibition held here at 'Dirty Linen'...curated by Clinton Cross.

Rebecca exhibits her beautiful works in Sydney quite regularly I understand.

I may have the chance to meet James Guppy again.  I met him years ago when he came to Bundaberg with Flying Arts.  I have always admired his fabulous works.  It's great to know that he is one of Brenda's artists.

I will be preparing my work for the show this weekend and hope to do a time lapse video of that preparation.

Till soon,
