Entropy

After a while buffeted by the sudden gusts of wind we have been experiencing here in Sydney, my rusted and stitched panels are demonstrating the process of entropy very nicely. I was worried about them making it through the length of the exhibition, but I now I think they’ll hang on till the end.



Entropy at North Sydney Art Prize

We installed my work at the Coal Loader this week. It’s in a rather rustic building which suits the work very well. The brick walls are stained with rust and old paint. The site is open on one side, so the panels move with the breeze – sometimes it looks as if they are breathing. There are lots of interesting works to see, many of them site specific.

Too much to see in one hit, so I will revisit several times.

It’s open for some time yet. There was a crowded and lively opening earlier tonight.

North Sydney Art Prize

I just received notification of my acceptance in the North Sydney Art Prize, with work about Entropy. Fantastic! I need to get back to work quickly, so I’m in the studio today exploring some new ideas. Here’s a peek……

Last day of Exhibition

Peri and I sharing a glass of bubbles on the closing day of the show. It’s been great – plenty of visitors, some insightful comments, some wonderful conversations and some sales. Peri and I are already discussing the next one! (But it won’t be for some time yet.)

Thanks to everyone who made it such a success.

Last days of exhibition.

As our exhibition draws to a close, here are some images from the box of rust showing how it has developed over the course of the show.

Some great photos and excellent commentary from Mo at its crow time.

And here some photos of the glass ceiling of the gallery which is the floor of the cafe upstairs.

And here is the progress of my box of rust. The wire is growing protrusions as the rusting process continues.

I’m really enjoying spending time here with Peri.
