Winter Warmers

This work was made while i was wrapped in a wooly kaftan and ugg boots and breathing frost, wishing that i could crawl into some kind of warm burrow. Therefore the apples had temporarily satisfy that desire. Trying to make a crisp shiny apple appear snuggly is a strange attempt indeed. This may have also been a reaction to my cats gone wild # 2, possibly an effort in making cats cute again. I'm feeling a little Anne Geddes gone wrong here.

cats go wild # 2

I don't know what came over me - I am not usually this morbid, or well, i haven't been this morbid in a really long time. I thought it was really funny - is this bad??

I'm BACK!!!

I know you were all missing me oh so much, which is understandable, so i have returned from the biting cold of the peninsula to the biting cold which is my unheated flat in melbourne. sigh. But while basking in the fire light (well actually i basked in the sunshine of the sunroom at sorrento, while swaddled in many jumpers) i collaged my arse off, so i present to you the first of several new works...


this work is without title at the moment, but it is collage on hot press something something, approx 14 x 19 cm.

I'm not dead.

It's true. I just happen to be out of town - soaking up the fresh vibes in sorrento victoria. But dear readers! Never fear, i have lots of treats on the way, i will be back on monday avec scanner, and shall be uploading some of the delights I have been working on while in the sanctury that is the attangah (spelling?) sunroom!

blog banner gets framed!

I couldn't help myself - seeing as was going to frame one of the mountain works for the paperwork 1 show, i decided to treat myself too. Instead of this tiny work (one of my favourites!) getting lost in a pile of collage material and other finished works, i decided to get it framed... i don't think i even gave it a real title initially, but now i have labeled it 'the warming room' to signify finally getting my work online and hopefully more public than my desk at home. So a big thankyou to the people who take the time to look at my work from the warming room!



if anyone is looking to get any work framed, i strongly recommend omnus conservation framing - those guys know their shit, and are friendly and lovely and their prices are amazing. They were super speedy with this and my other piece, and cut down the time because they knew i had to get it up in the gallery! thanks again guys!

Paperwork 1

Hello All!

Apologies for the delay, but i finally went to C3 yesterday to photograph (doofus me forgot the camera for the opening) my work. Please forgive my pretty terrible photography - not my strongest point I admit! Unfortunately c3's site is also un-updated with pics, so you'll just have to make do with these!




Ok they are even more boring than i thought - but look yay! hung on a wall for a change! I tried individual shots, however my computer (and brain) is struggling with rotation.

lovely framing work from the dudes at omnus conservation framing.

flurry of busy-ness business.

so i have had an actual actual weekend away from work, which is quite exciting, because it means i have had a chance to play and make and update!! I have been making cushions like they are back in style... for the first time.

Paperworks 1 opened last night and was a great success, pictures to come very soon i hope!! The show is on until 13th June, so get your arses down there to see some lovely work. there is also ample opportunity to enjoy the convent's coffee making skills and lovely grounds for wandering.

collage, 2.5 x 4 cm. would it be too ridiculous to get this lady framed? i think no. though i just dropped this piece on the floor and nearly lost it because it is so small. i should probably arrange a vessel for this one...
