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.

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!
