Studio 4 Gallery preparations - bowls

Fiona and I are now coming to the pointy end of our preparations for the Studio 4 Gallery exhibition that has its official opening on 12 March. But because we are in Canberra, Melbourne and Alice Springs for work-work over the next little while we really need to have almost everything prepared now.

All my meditation and offering/incense bowls are complete so I have cut perspex tuibe stands to present them one.

And I couldn't resist photographing the perspex tubes on the white background - bit etherial?

  2. Barry, these unusual photos of the bowls and their stands could be in an exhibit as a separate body of work! Lovely pieces.

  4. Barry, that top photo of the bowls is luscious. All your photos are really beautiful and yes, the tubes against the while are really ethereal.

    All the best to you and Fiona for the final stages of the exhibition.

    Barry, where do you get the perspex tubes? I'm trying to reorganize my display cases and the tubes would be a great start.

  5. Barry...the unique fabric folding effect of the metal just begs to be touched and held!
    I know the exhibit will be a big success for you and Fiona...your photography alone could be your presentation. I just love that shot of the bowls from above...as if they were floating in mid air..and the tubes are pretty cool as well..
