Work from MFA seminar

21/4/2016

We've just had one of our MFA seminars (or In-FlUhKs seminars) - as we call ourselves In-FlUhKs :)

We'd invited a couple of guests this time, to give us some feedback on our work. One of the guests was Tim Melville - the owner of Tim Melville Gallery in Auckland. And he gave his honest - and much appreciated - feedback on our work.

So I had a lot of good feedback on my hessian pieces - but somehow I'm just not happy with these pieces - even though they would be soo easy to ship around the world.. which was part of the idea from the beginning.

I'm back - after a bit of a health scare..

Haven't done anything in the studio since my last blog post - in November.... Had a couple of surgeries for Melanoma, but I'm now back - and the Melanoma is GONE, GONE !!

And we have another Masters Seminar coming up - 16 April - where I need to create 2 new pieces of work... so I'm kind of in a hurry ;)

Was in studio for the first time this week - and the idea I've got is to continue my work with hessian - as I love working with the rough surface. I'll then incorporate some more of my 'domesticated' materials like; fabric, buttons, wool, etc.

Here's my first test. First I had to iron the hessian - which is not an easy job... and then I had to test how much binder to use. And then - I had to let it dry - which is the difficult part, as I haven't got the patience for that!

So now I'm really excited to see what it looks like when I get it off the floor !! More to follow!
