On Monday, Susan Hutton and I will pack her ute and be off to Brisbane for our exhibition at Graydon Gallery.
The other artists joining us are Jennifer McDuff - painter, John Olsen - metal sculpture, Keith Stewart - photography, Trevor Spohr - ceramics. Susan combines painting and ceramics in her art practice. I am primarily known for my installations and assemblages, but as you probably know from reading my blog, I have spent the last couple of years mostly painting...... and I have been really enjoying it.
You are all welcome to visit us at Graydon Gallery in New Farm (See details in previous post.) See you at the opening!! 'Breathing Space 2'' promoting excellence in regional art!!
Till soon! C x

'Breathing Space 2 ' Exhibition

The 'Breathing Space' exhibition
It was about a year ago that I decided to hire an artspace and develop an exhibition that would showcase the work of some very talented artists from the Wide Bay Region.
The first five artists I spoke to jumped on board quickly, and when we discussed the show, we decided that six artists would be enough.
The Graydon Gallery is a lovely space in New Farm. It is available for hire and with six artists involved it was quite reasonable in terms of costs. The artists can also share the workload and the manning of the gallery.
We had a great opening night with over 200 attending the event. There were several sales. By the end of the two weeks we had sold about $11,000 worth of art.
We declared the event a great success, and are thinking of booking for 2017.
Attached is a photo of one of the works shown at Graydon Gallery.

Talking about Graydon Gallery...
Talking about Graydon Gallery, I am excited to report that I am going to be a part of a group exhibition there next February. I have 5 other artists joining me in an exhibition titled 'Breathing Space'.
Those regional artists are Catherine McCue, Susan Hutton, Jennifer Mc Duff, John Olsen and Trevor Spohr. There were several other artists I would like to have included and hopefully I can arrange more exhibitions in the future. Regional artists need to get their work out there!
Graydon Gallery is located in Newfarm and it has a very busy exhibition schedule each year.
We will be hoping to see you at our opening. Date to be decided. I will update information here on my blogsite...and on Facebook. cx

Lifescape photographs
Attached are some photographs taken by Trevor Spohr for me today, as I took down the wrong lens on Friday. Trevor had to climb a very tall ladder to get these high shots. Thanks Trevor for the great pics!

Mary Poppins Festival
The Mary Poppins Festival happens each year in Maryborough, as it is the birthplace of Mary Poppins author, PL Travers.
Maryborough is about a 1 1/2 hours trip, South of Bundaberg.
Trevor Spohr (Art and Cultural Development Officer) from Gatakers Artspace, had asked Brad Marsellos and me to do a video projection for the festival.
Unfortunately Brad was not available for this Saturday appointment, but I went along anyway and had a great time.
It was a beautiful evening...Irish band playing, lots of delicious foods and wines. Art and crafts. And of all things a magnificent little pirate ship on wheels accompanied by four pirates.
That little ship had come with its owners from the Sunshine Coast to be part of today's festivities. It would be such a treat for young children to take rides in the ornate ship, ferried around by four scary, but funny too, pirates.
Apparently, people enjoyed the projections I had prepared, so it was a very successful evening.
I had used umbrellas as my main theme...very plain and geometric shapes. Often, less can be more.
I was lucky to be able to spend time later that evening, with the charming and friendly (as it turned out), pirates.
Talk art soon!

Wide Bay/High Desert exchange exhibition
It was an exciting day today as the four artists selected by BRAG (Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery) came together at Dirty Linen today to discuss the upcoming exchange exhibition.
(Jess Marsellos enjoyed our feast, as did the others.)
The artists selected are Susan Hutton (Cordalba), Trevor Spohr (Maryborough), Adrienne Williams(Mt Perry), and myself...representing Bundaberg.
The exhibition called Wide Bay High/Desert is to be held in October.The four artists will each produce four artworks. Two of the works will be exhibited in Bundaberg and two will be exhibited in New Mexico at the time of the exhibition.
Themes will relate to the landscape, and/or cultural issues.
This is an exciting project that will bring our region under the lime light. It will raise the international profile of the artists involved and promote BRAG as an innovative gallery, proactive in the promotion of its artists.
There have been some delays in the setting up of the Blog, so I am going to drop in to see if I can assist, this week some time.
In the meantime, two of my exhibition posters were sold today and have gone to a lovely home. I also took some more photos of Susan for my Domestic Violence project, which is shaping up.
I almost forgot to tell you that Trevor and a friend passed on to me a rather lovely wedding dress for my mannequin, Audrey. She's delighted! See photo attached.

Lloyd Rees
It has been a busy week. Last Saturday Brad and I had the video bombing to do, and that was fun in spite of a few mistakes we made. Fortunately, the problems we had were minor and did not interfere with the projection itself.
We are going to write ourselves a checklist for future reference..
Trevor Spohr, from Gatakers Artspace was kind enough to invite us back in June, so we have plenty of time to prepare some new material. In fact, I have finished one video already.
One of my responses to the recent flooding has been to downsize. I gave two full carloads of domestic paraphenalia to St Vinnies and most of the rest went up to the dump shop near the CQ University, I'm really happy about this, in spite of the fact that some of the discards were old artworks of mine
I donated about five artworks to BRAG for their fundraisng auction next Saturday, to help some of the gallery volunteers who have suffered extreme losses.
This evening I went to BRAG to see a retrospective of the work of Lloyd Rees...one of my favourite Australian artists. His portrayal of the Australian landscape is so real.
In 1988 when I first started painting, I entered the painting section of the Bundaberg Show, when it was in town.. Although, I did not win a prize, the judge, Mr David Burnett, gave from his pocket to award me a book of the work of Lloyd Rees. Apparently, he saw something in my watercolour painting of a mulberry tree that prompted him to make this fine gesture.
That time seems an eternity away.

Video bombing the Laundromat
I drove to Hervey Bay to set up my 'Citadels'. The 'renew' exhibition looks great and I think that Gallery Director, Curator Marj Sullivan is pretty happy with the works that have come in. I was going to take some pictures to post here, but when I went to take a photo I got the message on my camera...'no memory card'!!! So, I will have to be more careful next time.
However, I do have some new pictures to show you as Brad Marsellos and I went video bombing the Laundromat. Some good results, but this session seemed to be all about learning... and there is so much to learn!! The following stills are by Brad and videos were from my files. c x
My favourite artwork in 'renew' is a boat sculpture by Trevor Sphor. Very talented fellow!
