When I walk into the exhibition space my heart makes a jump and a big smile appears on my face. It is everything I was carefully expecting and more. How wonderful to see the works of John Prince Siddon at the Fremantle Arts Centre exhibition ‘All Mixed Up’. Truly exhilarating! Such freedom in his work! I love it! Very inspiring! #inspiringart #johnprincesiddon @fremantleartscentre #sobeautiful #artexhibition #wanttogoseeitagain #loveitfully

WITH BATED BREATH Once when I was swimming in the ocean, every little part of my skin being touched by water, lots of small fish came swimming around me and started nibbling on my skin. An experience I translated into this wall piece. The title is referring to a few things; holding one’s breath when under water, the 2 years working on an epic piece like this gives a sense of holding one’s breath until it is finished and there will be space to start on something new & the feeling something good is going to come and you’re holding your breath for a moment out of excitement. handmade crochet wall piece wool and lurex yarn 130 x 160 cm 2008 - 2010 #wallpieceart #crochet #handmade #fishnibbling #likelittlekisses #embracedbytheocean #nurturedbynature #calmingwaters #goodsensations #withbatedbreath #holdingonesbreath #textileart #art

NOCTILUCA NUGGET A crochet sculptural cushion I made in 2009 inspired by the magical and intense sensory experience I encountered while snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef in 1998. In daytime the colours of the coral and the nibbling on my skin by little fish touched my senses. During the night every move I made while swimming was illuminated by the sea by the so called sea-sparkles NOCTILUCA. These little sea algae react to every touch by emitting light, like fireflies. Little bright lights in the dark. What I thought and still think is so very beautiful about these illuminating sea algae is that they illuminate out of a self defence mechanism and there is a very beautiful symbolism and message in there; creating and looking at the illuminating things in life for coping with the dark. And what this illuminating means for this little creature, just simple self defence, can bring us such a magical experience. - Whenever you’re touched you sparkle - #noctiluca #nugget #emittinglight #whenyouretouched #yousparkle #selfdefencemechanism #coral #crochetsculpture #textileart

Pillow lava Foundation stones of the path Inner Fire Like a volcano erupting from within A series of works called PILLOW LAVA, which I made back in 2009, are still very close to my heart. They’re now being looked at in retrospective and being honoured in some new upcoming works.. #pillowlava #innerfire #foundationstones #volcanic #fromwithin #textileart #crochet #art #sculptures
