Imagine my unbridled excitement at being accepted in the Toyota Sculpture Exhibition. Last year I was lucky to attend to see the wonderful Sam Menzies and Robyn Rich exhibit their work so was honored to be amongst such good company. Wow - I'm playing with the big kids now.
Alas - on the weekend (and 4 days before delivery of my piece), I came home from the market to find my sculpture haliospinosa pluradactyla in pieces. Damaged. Beyond repair. (I blame the cat). Needless to say their was much hand wringing, many tears, and quite a bit of swearing in front of the children. Monday morning arrived finding me in a casting frenzy and long story short .... today i delivered the new improved version ready for the opening next week. The moral of the story is : Don't leave your precious fragile bony things where the cat can jump on top of them, and ... it feels really good when something goes terribly wrong and then you're able to fix it. You can visit the exhibition til march ...

Busy-ness. That's the name of the game just now. Its all too tempting to list all the things to be done.... but oh no. Not here. Lets stop for just a moment and breathe.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Now, I suppose we have a couple of options. We can take this moment to consider whether or not staring at a screen is really the most valuable, life affirming, enriching thing to be doing at this moment in time. If NO: Go on, get out of here. Go to the beach/trees/studio/desert/garden/theatre and soak it all in (then share what you found). If YES: Read on........ You can find my picture, Mutable State at The Simple Truth Exhibition. Cube 37, Frankston until September 28. For more info... click here. |
