One of the challenges with larger works is that one cannot pop them in the post and send them off to an exhibition.

So today Fiona and I headed off to Goondiwindi, a five hour drive away, to drop off
Shards, my post installation, for the Aspects Art Show.

The photos show the three posts sitting under cover near the the shed studio-gallery to dry off before they were packed in the car. The middle post is about 1.5m high and with the rusted shards of iron and the heavy plate iron base it is heavy - really best handled by two people.
And below is a strangely deformed leaf we found on a morning walk - this aberration could make an appearance in my piece for the COMA exhibition (for the love of trees).

Hoping the round trip goes well and that Shards adds to the art show.
Oh so exciting! .... and with a name like Goondiwindi I'm enchanted.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the exhibition! Your installation looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShards look absolutely gorgeous B!!! even standing in the shed. love the artistic sculptural curves of the rusted metal paired with the powerful lines of the wood. I'm sure they will do super well in the exhibition.
