A year and a half ago I committed to holding a solo exhibition thinking that that would be plenty of time prepare myself.  Life has a way of never going as planned and now two days away from opening day I am feeling nervously like I would like another six months to be ready. The exhibition is at Social Gallery which is a part of the Salamanca Arts Centre on the Hobart waterfront.  I will insert photos of the gallery once everything is installed. These three creatures, past and present are destined for the exhibition,  they have been keeping us company living in our lounge room for the last few months.

January 2024

Even though the studio doesn’t seem any tidier, I’m very pleased to have almost completed my most recent commission and can’t wait to see what Athena will look like in her final resting place. It has been an interesting project for me making this large piece, as it will be viewed from a distance I haven’t used my handmade ceramic tiles but used Bizassa tiles with a variety of different reflective and non-reflective surfaces. The countdown is on for installation on the 31st January, 2024 2020, an amazing and unsettling year so far.  The terrible ravages of fire, the unknowable Covid, reflection on life and family, and of creativity.  After completing work for my solo exhibition and a group show, both opening the same weekend in October, I hope now that our borders are opening, to connect with family and friends, while thinking of what next for me in the studio. Maybe clean the studio up…….
