Horses playing
I went to see Patricia Piccinini’s exhibition ‘Metamorphosis’ at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam today. It was absolutely magnificent, both Patricia Piccinini’s work as well as the exhibition! A world bizarre, magical, comforting and lovely. So good, it filled my heart.
All of my belongings from the first 35 years of my life were still in storage in Holland. I came to Australia with only a bag and a box. Now, after 12 years, I started going through those stored boxes. The things you find… 🙂 These four drawings are part of a serie that I made back in 2002. I’ll be bringing them back with me to Australia at the end of June 🙂
Afternoon walk with my mum and dad in the area near their house, there where I grew up.
In about 20 minutes I will set foot in my home country. I haven’t been able to do that for 12 years. Exciting! Exciting times ahead!
After making so many figurative works in the past 12 years I’ve felt a growing hunger for making more abstract works. I’m happy to see that with this work I’ve started ‘pages’ of a new chapter. I’m also happy to see that I can make worthy (for me at least), less labour intensive textile works, because that seems to be a challenge for me 🤭 I love the calming, quiet colour palette of this work and that, although the title directs the viewer towards the original idea, the image leaves space for other interpretations.

It’s on again, Artrooms Kalamunda Open Studios! Coming weekend April 1 & 2 from 10am till 5pm we will open our art studio doors again! Come have a look at finished pieces and works in progress. Have a chat and hear about the inspiration and stories behind some of the artworks. Hope to see you in my studio! 🙋‍♀️
I had a great day yesterday at the grassroots festival HAND IN HAND. This annual Kidogo Irish Aboriginal festival is celebrating ancient & contemporary Irish Culture & Aboriginal Culture, hand in hand. It’s a festival of friendship & a deeper connection between Irish and Aboriginal people through storytelling, poetry, music, art and more at the beautiful Kidogo Arthouse.
