With the great reaction to my last set of Art Cards for Microcosm at the Bendigo pottery, I have designed and had printed a new set for my new exhibition coming up next month.
Moon eclipse from Central Victoria
For us the best view of the Moon eclipse last night was from home
New Bendigo public art space opened on Saturday
Last Saturday I along with my hubby and two friends from Leongatha went along to Julie Andrews’ exhibition in Chancery Lane.
As well as writing a piece about this space for Weekend Notes ( see http://www.weekendnotes.com/chancery-lane-art-space/) I wanted to find out a little more about the why and wherefore of the wall art.
Julie kindly gave me her artist statement… ‘the work is about ‘in-between’ spaces the I am drawn to explore; the liminal, a threshold, a gap, between dichotomies, dualistic oppositions and either/or thinking. in both art theories and practice.
‘ The work is based on a series of paintings called trance- scapes that explore the in-between space – ‘to be there but not be there’ as an investigation into the psychological terrain of the liminal: the everyday and a place for remembering, noticing, daydreaming, possibilities and imagining. My work is often abstract and includes large gestural marks, stenciled shapes and floating circles to suggest a portal for reflection and contemplation.’
