Our new home will be filled with art that inspires and objects that bring joy. I first met artist Lisa Call in Philadelphia in 2012, and purchased an exquisite textile painting. Inspired then, inspired now and privileged to have acquired three new works ahead of our move. I still smile at the serendipity of entering a gallery in the old part of Philly, without knowing how that interaction would become an enduring friendship. Lisa was in the house (gallery) on that day, and the rest is history. As the founder of the Make Big Art community, Lisa's coaching and encouragement continues to support my own growth and help take my arts practice to another level.
Priority #1: Create My CBD office sits on the edge of this mighty, murky waterway - the Brisbane River. Over the next six months I'll be working on an exhibition piece as part of the Broadstrokes artists group. Starting with the obvious, I'm making preliminary sketches to determine the substrate form. I need to consider how it will perform under the visual intent of the piece. That is, " substrate " can be used to convey those things which " underly " or " sit beneath " the primary image. Infused by a river. I need to consider the political, social, economic, ethical or moral connections. I'll also explore which materials are best suited for that purpose.
