We've waited months, the new norm, for the access to the back yard and our shed to be put in. The dog seems able to scale the cliff in two bounds - but I'm no longer able or willing to go over the edge. Two big retaining walls are being built across the back of the property and somehow they'll carve in a sloping access to the shed so I can finally get the pottery wheel unpacked and back into service. I've so missed working with clay and can't wait to see how much muscle memory there is left in my arms. Looking forward to some slab and hand built work, and progressing my Parliament of Owls.
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.
