WORLDS APART - Exhibition
Emily is standing with her recycled feathered creation 'Boxed Dove' at the opening of the WORLDS APART Exhibition at the SOLDIERS Rd Gallery. My lasting impression from viewing this artwork is anyone is boxed in one way or another either through family, career, or the unexpected twists of kismet "Life happens and sometimes we wish it did not" - a favourite quote of my grandfather - Master Story-Teller. This odd man was also a butterfly collector mainly for my grandmother Katherine Ruth who was decidely evil but there is no accounting for the affairs of the heart.
WORLDS APART - Invitation

Thank you Emily for the invitation and the evening at this opening of the SOLDIERS Rd Gallery was an amazing and unexpected experience of the senses. The crowded gallery reminded me of a scene from 'Breakfast at Tiffanys' when cocktail parties were all the rage in the 1960s. There was a sense of the Rectro effect of the highly stained floorboards contrasting against the untouched part of the flooring. The semi-white cube effect of the walls providing the ideal backback for the artwork with glimpses of the inky night somewhat damp outside through old metal-framed windows. The music provided just the right vibe so jazz-like, so New Orleans. Lastly, Thank you Daniel, for making me feel welcome and for the record you are gifted if your artwork is any example.
UTS: To Catch a Lift
There are always the newcomers who step into the lift and try to push buttons covered by the transparent panel covered in fingerprints of the many who will not come to terms that there are keypads outside on every level of the tower building 1.

Marjorie - Bluebird Brekkie Bar
This is Autumn last year outside the UTS Tower, building 1 - and I believe the effect is quite interesting - yes I do like capturing the image of self in a reflective mood.

Marjorie - Double Shadows
I took this photograph at Factory 49 on an impulse because the effect was so quirky and I realise I am not a vampire regardless of the fact I am photosensitive with a skin too white. There are so many odd relatives in the family but I am not going there although I may write about some at a later date because revenge is best served cold. The shadows of the day were drawing in with small reflections of sunlight dancing on the white walls and the grey cement floor.

Shapes inspired by the construct of the electricity meter box. Therefore the abstract concept of 'NO BIG COAL' is arranged to extend the narrative of how costly electricity is to the global environment.

Wayne Chapman - Books on King
I am extremely upset about how today Books on King ceased to exist and I know Wayne is coming to terms that he has lost his secondhand bookshop in Newtown.
