A mixed bag of a weekend - I finished two sets of Bending sculpture-installation (one with 15 leaf forms and another that will in fact have 10 {3+7}). I also printed a poster on gender equality - reasonably large and a limited edition of 5.
The bundle of leaf rims above are for the Bending with 15 leaf forms. I call the sculpture Bending as it was inspired a long time ago by bending leaves and grasses. It is a light weight sculpture that can be moved around and vibrates in the breeze.
A few rushed photos of Bending set up temporarily out the front of our new place. The 15 leaf Bending is for sale; and the 10 leaf version will be installed in the grounds of our housing village.
Below is the finished stash of the 10 leaf version on the workshop floor. The set above have 60cm long stems and about 20cm long leaves. The set below have stems about 40cm long as they are to be set in blocks of wood.
I continue to be disturbed by the gender inequality; and the little progress and recognition of it by our government. This poster is a simple call to ongoing action. The poster is 62cm long and 35cm wide - printed on 300 gsm paper with vintage wood type 6.5cm and 7.5cm.
A good creative weekend given how tired we all seem to be at this year's end.
your graceful leaves brought to mind a Martin Luther King Jr. quote:

((((Barry))) your leaf installation is such a beauty & am both astounded and bemused that we still have to talk about gender equality in 2020 but we do and you are!
