| Celestial spheres - Once on earth |
Inspired by Linda Matthews I didn’t go through the process of making New Year
resolutions but, rather, chose a word to try and use as a pivot for my art
practice. Last year it was process.
This year I am struggling to choose a word. I keep
returning to process . I mind mapped and came up with a selection
of words which are, in reality, synonyms of process.
growth advance
action trial movement
routine evolution development
I'm thinking I might put them all on the wall!
Toward the end of 2019 I made some decisions about what I wanted to do more textile work. I also want to continue to make dolls both
traditional (cloth style and art dolls) and to explore assemblage. I am drawn to and fascinated by faces and wish to include them in
my work. Factor into this is the desire
to be part of the creative community at large, to enter calls for entries and exhibit.

I am mindful that focusing on one medium/technique/style leads to some of the outcomes above. But I get bored doing just one thing and need to work to several outcomes. I will try to be a little more controlled this year but suspect I am failing already. The reality is that I do the work for myself. I hope someone will like it and buy it but I haven’t really gone down that rabbit hole. (My etsy shop has been under development a couple of years now. )
However, I have a couple of exciting events happening. I have been accepted as a stall holder and to run drop in workshops at the Sunday of Curious Things. This eclectic styled makers fest and market is being held on the banks of the Murray River on Sunday 8 March next. It has motivated me to play with assemblage and create works.
I am again contributing to a textile exhibition in May next
and have been slowly making things for it.
I want to enter two juried exhibitions early this year and
have the works underway.
