Tutu for Belinda...

This is a project I will be working on running up to leaving at the beginning of September. Thanks to the glorious Sally Cook and her wealth of contacts I was put in touch with her friend Belinda who wants me to customise her daughters ballet tutu for her last competition with the company, before she heads off to Melbourne to join the Australian Ballet School. She's given me full creative freedom with how I can approach and complete this... However she wants the theme to be based on painter Amelie Laurence's work, such as colour, context and texture...but the rest is up to me. I have produced a few samples from the research provided, as shown below. Can't wait to get stuck in... Finger crossed I can get it completed in a week!!!

FABRIC SAMPLES...

SALA Red Poles Samples

Here are some of the samples I produced for the Red Poles Exhibition...

SALA at Red Door Bakery on King William Road

My next exhibition is at Red Door Bakery on Kind William Road. For this exhibition I decided to do something a bit different. I teamed up with my artist friend Rebecca Prince for this showcase, and we decided to focus on both of our favourite things...travelling and in particular our individual trips to India and Turkey. Finally I get a chance to put some of the photos and cultural experiences I encoutnered to good use. I choose to depict them in my sketchbook style mixed media drawing, which I haven't really done big scale before. Funnily enough I actually sold the 2 smaller pieces within the first 10 minutes of the exhibition opening. We didn't have a lot of space to fill but we were happy with the outcomes...

'Homage to Ganesh'

'Another day at Market'

'Morning in Jaipur'

'Nagar Princess'

SALA at Red Poles

As part of this years SALA I have completed some works to hang in a few exhibitions, one of which is at Red Poles in the beautiful McLaren Vale in South Australia. These pieces are based on my textile work which has been developed from previous ideas, as upon request from the gallery. I have also included my 'Pépins' pair from Bridgewater. The two new pieces named 'All in a whirl' and 'Untitled'...
