Margaret River Regional Open Studios – the third time around- Sept 11-25th 2021

My little studio set amidst the headlands of Cowaramup Bay on Wadandi Boodja is in Open Studios again. I will be mid prep for this looming exhibition in March 2022 at Bunbury Regional Art Gallery and am really looking forward to feedback on the works in progress to see how they re movin and shakin along. Here are some testers I just got fresh today off the roll….

Ever Evers…new works in progress 2021

-‘You’ll Not forget me ever ever EVER…’ is a line from the poem ‘Dialogue on a Headland’ by Robert Graves. Inspired by his words and in line with my habit of practising ‘inverse ekphrasis’ I am currently using Graves imagery in a body of digital drawings about love, obsession, beauty and shell collecting. All the drawings are based on the private shell collection -The Bellview Shell Collection- the largest private shell collection in Australia which is locate down the road from me in Witchcliffe, WA.

Works are currently being created and planned for exhibition at Bunbury Regional Art Gallery March 2021. And in the meantime I’ll be in Margaret River Regional Open Studios for 2021, September 11-25th.
