You can see a crescent moon above the building in the picture below. It was a wonderfully successful projection. I wish they all went that well. cx Even more pictures coming!

The Foundry projections
Two pictures taken from my digital projection a week or two back. It's hard to convey just how big this foundry building is.
It must be over 3 storeys high.

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.

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.

Hi all, Just letting you know that Dirty Linen will be open for the remainder of the year, but on a reduced scale due to commitments.
The gallery will open 10- 2pm, the first Sunday of each month unless otherwise advised.
There are three or four exhibitions coming up. You will be advised about them shortly.
... Please note that Brad Marsellos and Christine Turner will be presenting a video bombing on the facade of Gatakers Artspace this Saturday night, 23rd Feb.
This will be very exciting and will coincide with other presentations, music etc, all monies to benefit the flood appeal.
Great chance to see a variety of different performances, and an opportunity to see Jennifer Mc Duff's exhibition that is currently on show at Gatakers! cx

Bombing Sam
Brad and I had another productive night video bombing with pictures of our young friend Sam. She is off to art college next year and she is sure to do very well. She is already a brilliant photographer and has been making interesting videos as well. She made a very beautiful model for our video bombing.
We watched Sam's video under a nearly full moon. What a treat!
Talk art soon!

Video Bombing
It is ages...too long...since I went video bombing. Petrina McDonald and I were invited to show a projection on a wall at the rear of the Alowishus Coffee shop. Writers from Brisbane had made the journey to Bundaberg to conduct a workshop.
Brad was unable to take part as he is currently on his honeymoon.
We were able to project some good images; The Broken Woman series
Part1, Fledglings and a few experimental pieces to finish the session.
Attached are a couple of pics of my videos for you. Instagram by Petrina McDonald - Queen of Instagrams, above.

You won't stop us! Art rules!
Talk art soon! cx

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!

Good Friday at Waterloo,Qld
Brad and Jess (and Darling- the dog) took me on a trip out to Waterloo yesterday...a 30 minute drive from Bundaberg. Deep into the dusty Aussie bush.
A narrow asphalt road wound its way through tall leggy gums that stood like a guard of honour right up to the edges of the road...packed in densely as if attempting to get a glimpse of the traveller. Sparse scraggly canopies of leaves leaned gently inwards above us, encompassing us in a protective gesture it seemed. We must be going somewhere very special I thought.
We soon arrived at the Waterloo Hall. The hall has a great history behind it and a bevy of interested locals who endeavour to preserve the old building itself whilst also gathering as much of the history of the hall and local area as possible.
They gather at their beloved hall once a month to enjoy a barbecue and spend time with local friends. Their children can play in the old tennis court and run around the bush as long as they like. The older children can go into the hall and test themselves against their rivals on the old green velveted billiard table that is overseen by a formal portrait of the young Queen Elizabeth. It hangs on the corrugated iron wall nearby.
The sharp clicks of the connecting ceramic billiard balls echoed into the approaching night...mingling somehow with the delicious aroma that came from the barbecue and the laughter and chatter that hung in the air.
There was much banter around the pool table and many apologies about one's less than perfect shots. Most were a little rusty it seems!
There was a magnificent full moon high above in the pale blue sky. I tried to photograph it, but it eluded me somehow. Some obscure technical reason. Dusk approached, so I got to the job of taking some photographs.
Night arrived heralded by the lighting of braziers, their flames licking about...painting living masks on the faces of those that stood around them staring dreamily. Conversations ebbed and flowed.
Brad video bombed the side of the hall with old pictures of some long departed relatives from the Waterloo area and some of the hall itself. The images were captivating.
A feast of a barbecue was served and before we knew it, it was time for us to leave.
Thankyou friends of Waterloo Hall. You are an amazing bunch of people. Motivated, proactive, interesting and friendly. Thankyou for welcoming us and good luck for the future. Waterloo Hall is in good hands!

Video Bombing
Brad and I went video bombing around Bundaberg's streets last night. It was late night shopping and so there was a lot more traffic than we have usually found. Brad is able to set up our equipment in about 5 minutes flat now, which means we can take in several sites over a couple of hours.
We projected a short video I had produced on Adobe Premiere elements...A figure study in black and white. The image held up very well, I think, because of it's strength and simplicity.
Various other short videos I had produced for bombing were sadly lacking. I will have to rethink and reinvigorate them or start again.
We tried another couple of sites without success. We are learning what qualities are needed to make a good site. Wall, not too distant....quality of the darkness and so on.
The other big success for the night was Brad's bunny video. The bunny is a striking and intriguing character. The basically black and white format was very successful on the walls above Noyes Glass.
The backpackers on the other side of the road to us,enjoyed the bunny movie from their adjacent balconies.
Someone rang Brad's partner, Jess, to tell her that there was a video bombing taking place in Bundaberg!!! We felt happy that we were becoming somewhat notorious around town. But really it's about getting work out there!
