Quite frankly, right now I completely lack the wit that is required to bang out something clever for this post.

So, for now, just enjoy the pretty colours.

brain-block

You may be wondering where the hell I've been. Or not. But if you have, here are some awesome excuses for my absence:

- My printer/scanner has run out of ink. So what Lucy? You don't need printer ink to operate a scanner! Uh, actually, YES YOU DO. I am on the verge of writing canon an angry letter, outlining exactly WHY I think their printer/scanner combination sucks BALLS.

- I have just started a new job. This is actually very cool. I am now working for Stockroom in Kyneton, as their ... Thing. As a Thing, I do a variety of tasks, such as shopkeeping, smartarsing, writing, phone answering, coffee drinking, backgammon playing and even the occasional vacuum. It is very cool.

- I have BRAIN-BLOCK. This is clearly the most severe of all my ailments contributing to 'not-posting'. After two years of keeping my head down and spewing out a shitload of work, I decided I better start showing it quick smart. So I am and I did ... and now I have RUN OUT OF COOL STUFF. It is very distressing. I have galloped way ahead, booking shows here, and demanding awesome collaboration projects here (more info to come [if my brain becomes unblocked that is] soon) and then realising that I've been spending so much time doing THAT, that I forgot to make any work! ARGH!

So now I need some REALLY COOL IDEAS. Suggestions welcome. In the meantime, here is some eye candy that I recently made for my upcoming show at C3 gallery later this month.

What's it gonna be?

The past few days I've been working on some double-doily action - all I can say is thank goodness they sent me two. But now I'm faced with the dilemma - which one?!

There's some splicey colourful action happening here ... and details of my other one to come! (I can't be giving it all away at once now can I?) While I am loving all this colour work, something just isn't sitting right. Do you ever do creative things and wonder how they happened? I really don't feel that this style belongs to me, even though it is me, coz, like, I did it. Obviously. But it doesn't feel me. Me me me! Ok I'll stop.

Don't get too comfy - this one isn't finished, and the other one is still to come ...

It feels like such a strange dilemma though: on the one hand, this doily feels exciting and a little bit scary because it's out of my comfort zone. But on the other hand, it pisses me off - I feel like it's cheating somehow, because I don't do abstract art. But CLEARLY I do. Because there it is. My brain is VERY twirly right now. PLEASE HELP.

So, I think my my surroundings are subconsciously leaking into my work. What with lounging around my bed, parks and cafes of Berlin, reading material like The Book Thief and Neither Here Nor There (both with much undertones of Germany, wait, not undertones, how about one book is set there and oh right the other book travels all around it.) is all clearly rubbing off. I didn't even realise the suggestive colours of this lady until Kent pointed it out. (I believe being a zombie with a cold has influenced my lack of attention to anything much at the moment!)

The lady in this image was also found at the Mauerpark flea markets, I think circa 1940s. (I didn't find it in the 1940s, that would be impossible. But I think the photograph was taken around then.) I still feel a bit strange about using old photographs for my work, somehow encyclopedias are much more fun. Goodness!

with her white velvet gloves

This is inspired by another picture i am working on, involving a traditional Native American headdress!

This was an idea I had left behind last year about the idea of non-functional decoration, that seems to be having a resurgence on my desk at the moment.

look what i found!

another work lurking in the archives!

who knew it could all be so colourful?! oh the joy!
