Not one to let the grass grow under my feet I am wanting to begin new work and maintain the work ethic and to honour my practice. I have the opportunity to exhibit in an International Show at Tweed River Art Gallery in Australia. Work for this show needs to be completed and ready to post by July.
I have been working with a reinterpretation of Maori dolls over the last couple of months. In fact they have been popular with the punters. A series of small drypoint prints have emerged from work needed for a Xmas show at Solander Gallery. I have completed three prints to date and have more in the waiting to be drawn. This I am sure will be the basis for new work as I am interesting in exploring aspects of New Zealand that helps define our contemporary culture. I have always been fascinated by the notion of Marching girls' and briefly explored the idea Marching girls,on mass,moving through a defined space: completing a series of choreographed movements but keeping within a controlled area. The idea of space, and regulated and informal movement became an important aspect of my Masters work. This will be the basis for new work.
