boxes, books and sculpture


I've been busy entering competitions lately. I've entered the meroogal women's heritage exhibition, the small sculpture prize and the artists' books show for southern cross uni at Alstonville at Julie Barratt's gallery. I also entered the drawing prize at Grafton regional gallery with one of my small bus stop books and a digital picture frame. The books are quite small but have hundreds of line drawings in them of my travels. I keep filling them up.



I finished off a relief work I had started many years ago. Eventually I painted it and put proper D rings on it.
this is how it was for years and now I've made the background white.






This is a detail before I painted it white. It has had a few names over the years and now it's called 'found on the floor'
these are the things I picked up on the kitchen floor over a short time and kept in a container.











It looks different all painted white in the background

Welcome to my Blogspot


G’Day
I’m a sculptor, printmaker and textile artist. My passion is to draw and to make things. I create installations. I make artist books. I work with cast aluminium and bronze.

Printmaking
I like to print onto anything, mostly onto paper and fabrics. I use photopolymer etching and monotype.

Textiles
Dyeing silk and cotton, wool and any yarn and knitting and crocheting.

Artist Books
Creating books from paper, wood fabric and plastic. Some very tiny and some quite large, some in bags, some in boxes, others are collections of past drawings or rearranged photos.

I belong to BARRACKS ART STUDIOS THIRROUL on the eastern coast of NSW, Australia.

Environment
Use less, waste less, reuse everything, reduce waste, and work with less-toxic materials.

I hope you enjoy visiting my blog site.
