Incidents in Time - Jason Waterhouse

I know I am being incredibly lazy, but I thought I'd share an interview I conducted with Jason Waterhouse today that I used for the Stockroom blog. Jason has just installed a beautiful collection of small sculptures in a lane way in Ballarat, which are, quite frankly, fucking awesome. Well worth the trip out to check them out. See the Stockroom blog for the full interview and pictures! More pictures on the Stockroom facebook page.

time is short

Without wanting to dispell all my secrets for my upcoming show, I thought I'd do a little throwback from the last show I was in Time is Short at Stockroom in Kyneton. This little show was actually really cool, considering Jason had to pull it out of his arse in one day. Featuring works by Beth Conway, Rhett D'Costa, Kent Wilson and Jason Waterhouse to name but a few, this show was a lovely colour-ball of joy.

Warning: the following photos were taken on my phone. Badly. Please. Forgive me.

 Gorgeous ink work by Beth Conway (lust lust lust).

 Ooh what have we here! Hurray for rent money, that's what!

Another beauty by Kent Wilson - awesome!

the power of nature

I love these dudes - I think they are displaying some kind of 'sportsmanlike' respect. And they are also joined by ... the power of natureeeeee!

(Sorry - a MASSIVE storm just hit my place, so I am feeling all crazed and wild from thunder and wind. Gaaaah!)

Yay! Pictures! I'm elbow deep in collage material at the moment, getting ready for my upcoming show Sudden Flushes of Unconscious Material (part 2) at c3 gallery in the Abbotsford convent. Yeah! I'll post details of the opening up soon!

Story time!

Look, I was going to post some new work up today, but now that will have to wait until tomorrow, because, oh happy happy, I found THIS while I was tidying today. Beatrix Potter - you are my personal hero, thank you for being so cool.

I hope you enjoyed story time today. Perhaps take the time to consider your own use of manners and in the mean time, sit tight - I've got some new goodies to share over the coming weeks! Hurrah!

BOING!

If I wear many jumpers, sit next to the heater, hold some jonquils and shut my eyes reeeeal tight, I can almost convince myself that yes, Spring IS here. All that rain, hail, wind and zero degrees temperature - just a state of mind.

laser cat #672

 It is my bottomless well of making - I can't seem to help myself, but when preparing for a show, a laser cat seems to wheedle its way in there somehow, like a nervous tic perhaps.

I like this one. 

It seems like it's really concentrating hard on lasering. Go laser cat, go!

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.

Up close at the platform show

Hello all! I know I have been terribly slack as of late, but it's coz I've been busy DOING THINGS! (Obviously) Don't you worry, new work is in the works, new work is at the framers, it's ALL HAPPENING. But, for the time being, here is a little closeup from my current show, Sudden Flushes of Unconscious Material at Platform art spaces. You can see images of the whole show here. It's only got ONE MORE DAY people! So get your arses down to the Flinders Street Subway TOMORROW, because my Awesome Parents of Joy are deinstalling the whole thing first thing Saturday. Yep, ONE MORE DAY!
