Exhibition coming up!

Hello all,  The weeks are flying by now. Our exhibition is in November at Graydon Gallery in Newfarm.  We are going to have to float our artworks  titled 'Breathing Space 3' across the river
to show them in Newfarm.  (Just joking!!) I am sure the little ferry will carry us safely forward).
The artists are all from regional areas, Bundaberg, Maryborough, Woodgate.  I am the only artist
from Brisbane, which makes it easy for me to continue to arrange and present our exhibition.  More about our show as the weeks fly by.

Below is an image of my most recent 3D piece.  Another Suburban Goddess.  Till soon.  cx

The Bride



This is a recent work I think I will call 'The bride wore white'.  I am looking for a white satin horseshoe to finish the piece.  I know I will find it soon.  When you work with found objects, they often seem to come to you when needed.

The rusty old iron gate represent the home of an older generation of women, the fifties I would guess. The white tablecloth represents the bride who's life centred around the family and home.

Objects from the  fifties and sixties are in particular, the objects society is discarding.  The values of that generation seem to be cast aside to some degree also.


I will be making several works about the bride in the next few months. These works also reference recent flooding as in the 'Water Falls 1' piece.


Till soon,
