New Mexico exhibition

My works are coming thick and fast at present.  I need four good works for the show in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  In October two works will arrive at 'Unsettled Gallery' and two will go to BRAG to be hung there.

It's very exciting and I will look in to going to Las Cruces if I can. 

Attached are two more digital works.They are versions derived from the one bride photograph. I have used biscuit tin lids, souveniers, toys anything I can find to photograph for these works. There are several layers of images in them.   cx

 

 

 

 

Treasures

I have been struggling all day with the collage that has been giving me a difficult time lately.  I can't remember how many layers of paint it has had now, but it has had many.




Tonight I lay the canvas on the floor and scrubbed off as many layers as I could revealing yet another unsatisfactory surface.  I took the canvas outdoors and hosed it  clean.

I have now painted the surface black and I will work some gold  features back into it.

About midday, I had a call from a friend and fellow artist Ella.  She was clearing out her garage and had a small timber step ladder to give me.  She had seen my work called 'Water Falls' and thought I may like another ladder.  Of course I was delighted and picked it up straight away!  

I set off for home, but decided to drop in at the Bundaberg dump shop. Really, its title is 'Trash and Treasure'. I should try to get used to calling it that.

So there I found the lovely old pram. 

These are just the types of domestic objects that I like to use in my artworks.  The artwork below - 'Water Falls'  uses a full sized  timber ladder and a bridal veil and is a response to   the recent flooding in Bundaberg.

Till soon!   cx
