A Note on the Slide Shows

Just a note to say when watching the slide show, the images are low dpi so avoid viewing on the full screen.  I will have to remedy that shortly.

Fowlers Gap Art & the Environment Exhibition COFA September 2011


This slide show contains images from the Exhibition held in September at COFA.  I am afraid it is not inclusive of all the works however it gives a reasonable view of the standard of the individual and group works.  My individual works were the Ceramic pieces, the cylinders recording impressions of the past (like a message stick) and the Salt Bush representing survival in an arid zone. The works were Raku fired in Richmond.  The plastic quilt and bag (ironed lots of plastic bags) hopes to highlight other uses for the plastic bag which is a curse to the environment.  You will note the incredibly diverse range of works.

Broken Hill to Fowlers Gap

This is a slide show of some of the images from our arrival in Broken Hill and the visits to the surrounding mines, Silverton where they made Mad Max and the area just outside where you can see the curve of the horizon.  Its too green out there to make the next Mad Max Film.  Lots of fun was had with the group some of the students first visit to the outback.  Out at Fowlers Gap where we worked on our team projects, you will note the message tree, the bottle tree and adventure playground.  Lastly images of our teams work on mud bricks and how our sculptures developed.  The last images are of the 'Emu Letter Box' which I hope will survive for a while at least until the next group go in 2012.
