Discovered via the oneness project an interviews that sheds a little light on Australia's hidden history, the personal experience of colonisation. This video is a good reminder why I am trying to tackle my homelands ugly history as part my work.
I find it difficult to hear the impact of white Australia, being a white non indigenous Australian myself and therefore very important.
inspiration for materiality
though not really a word materiality..... in my current work 60 from 250? I am always seeking to push the limits of my fabric wind and weave technique. Each time I look to change or push something just a degree more. I love looking for the limits and look forward to seeing all the many versions that will happen.
And today via Jealous Curator I found the most wonderful inspiration for pushing material limits, an artist Margie Livingston who makes paintings as sculptures. Margie's work jumped out at me as I looked and wondered and was touched, even through a screen.
Then Margie did something very generous on her website.... a video where she talks to us the viewer about her process, I am hooked and well worth 9mins of your life.

it is all about the audience by Marcel
... the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act

My new hero - Riley on marketing
Via Sarah Maple (by the way an artist I just discovered and very worthwhile checking out) this very inspirational video. I think Riley should take over and rule the world.

It arrived in the Brooklyn ,USA - MY SKETCHBOOK 'i remember you'. I did meet the deadline of posting my sketchbook on 31st Jan. I didn't make it year 1, first attempt, so really glad I got it across the line in 2012 it was certainly touch and go with the illness that dogged many of my weeks in January.
| This little sketch book is the end of an era, the book end to my flags and work with memories and saying good bye to Dad. |
