New Work

I feel like my work here is finally coming together. I made this work on a sheet of Arches water colour paper and want to make more. I feel that my small scale experiments have come to fruition and now I only have a little over a week here I want to make lots more.

Viewed Together

I started to put the new works on the wall. Viewed together they are perhaps a little too pretty.

More New Work

21 April. Studies for new work.

Here are some small studies for new work that I have been working on for the last few days. All works watercolour and pigment ink on arches paper. 10cm x 10cm.

Where to post

While this work is not a continuation of the body of work from Bundanon, I have decided to post my work from the residency at Ragdale here as I think what Iam working on will eventually be a further exploration of the Pink Squadron work. These are the results of my first day's work. Very much works in progress.

Workshop with Students from Dulwich High School

During my stay at Bundanon students from Dulwich High School visited my studio and made some stackers which became part of the installation 'ghetto'.
More images from the visit.

Collaboration with the students of Dulwich Hill Creative Arts High School

Ghetto is now a collaborative work after the students from Dulwich Hill visited my studio today and made lots of stackers to add to my work. I hope to find more opportunities to collaborate and install the work in the future.
