Dancing Partner<\/span><\/p>\n

Another New Studio<\/span><\/p>\n

Started to move forward by framing some pictures, the first image ‘Jamie’s Flowers’ was longlisted for the Jackson’s Art Prize<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The second, ‘Red garden 5’<\/a> is probably not quite finished yet. I have a small VR environment for the Red Gardens, <\/span><\/p>\n

It just takes the garden using a 3d background from Google maps and walks through to a 3d exhibition of the existing sculptures and back through portals to the red version.<\/span><\/p>\n

I took some screen shots while I was in it and used one of them to start a new drawing.<\/span><\/p>\n

And these next iterations show it on the 22nd<\/sup> at different stages.<\/span><\/p>\n

After this I did a lot of thinking about where the end point for this work is and I’ve looked again at the theory around the ‘geranium project’ and the inherent dualistic approach I took there. I haven’t resolved that as yet but I ought to for the course I’m currently studying<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I worked the surface over more on the 24th<\/sup>, this is the stage where every drawing begins to lose something I think. I also made a small drawing on paper prepared with gesso after a discussion with Terry Chipp<\/a> who has the studio above me at C-View.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also spent an inordinate amount of time looking at this scene in the studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ‘Dancing Tree’ sculpture is crying out for a dancing partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the 26th<\/sup> I spent some time recovering the big drawing ‘Red Garden 6’ and added a small amount to the red tree<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally I spent some time building the base for the dancing partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve managed to keep up with 30works30days<\/a> and made this short video of the 2nd second of each submission<\/p>\n
