Dancing Partner
Another New Studio
Started to move forward by framing some pictures, the first image ‘Jamie’s Flowers’ was longlisted for the Jackson’s Art Prize.

The second, ‘Red garden 5’ is probably not quite finished yet. I have a small VR environment for the Red Gardens,
It just takes the garden using a 3d background from Google maps and walks through to a 3d exhibition of the existing sculptures and back through portals to the red version.
I took some screen shots while I was in it and used one of them to start a new drawing.

After this I did a lot of thinking about where the end point for this work is and I’ve looked again at the theory around the ‘geranium project’ and the inherent dualistic approach I took there. I haven’t resolved that as yet but I ought to for the course I’m currently studying

I worked the surface over more on the 24th, this is the stage where every drawing begins to lose something I think. I also made a small drawing on paper prepared with gesso after a discussion with Terry Chipp who has the studio above me at C-View.

I also spent an inordinate amount of time looking at this scene in the studio.

The ‘Dancing Tree’ sculpture is crying out for a dancing partner.

On the 26th I spent some time recovering the big drawing ‘Red Garden 6’ and added a small amount to the red tree

Finally I spent some time building the base for the dancing partner.
