This wonderful book, sadly out of print, inspired the growth of hundreds of marigolds, the collection of what seemed like a million cobblers' pegs seed heads, and the planting of several banksias in the new gardens at Kalbar. The day temperatures recently hit the early 40s - definitely no time to plant anything. However weeds and seeds abound in the new estate and Judith Hallett's experimentation and wisdom have blessed me with some gorgeous silks and protein-treated cottons / linen prints.
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.
