a couple of snaps from the opening

Thanks to everyone for coming and supporting the artists in our new Christmas Showcase. It was a great turnout with lots of people coming back for second looks later in the week. We also had a very successful evening on Wednesday night with the WAGS group from the AGNSW, who enjoyed drinks and canapes provided by The Depot Cafe, lucky door prizes provided by Studio 20/17 and King Leo and a private viewing of all the galleries on the night. – Bridget.

Full circle…

Full circle - wall brooches

work in progress of some ‘wall booches’ I’ve been working on for the Christmas showcase. I’ve been looking into sacred geometry and having a play. I love the shadows the shapes cast, and the glow reflected from behind by the painted backs….and yes, they can be taken from the wall and worn on the location of ‘body’.

australian art review

Bridget and I are very excited about a recent editorial in the Australian Art Review. We’re in the November edition that came out yesterday.  Its on Page 23 in the aArtlook section and was written by Patricia Anderson. Images of work by Emma Fielden,  Sian Edwards and Maureen Faye-Chauhan

SPECIAL TREATS!

I’m so excited! Mel and I feel like kids again…lots of little parcels full of delicious goodies and special treats have been arriving in the gallery! This weekend our Christmas showcase gets setup… unpacked a lovely series of work from Roseanne Bartley this morning. Brooches fabricated from ring pulls, all painted white with striking flouro element in the centre, a sumptuous brooch and an exciting neckpiece with elements of the tops of Macdonalds plastic spoons.  Just love it! thought they were little white teeth at first….I sooo need another pair of glasses….Fans of RB’s work are going to be fighting over these pieces!

I got out the studio camera to take some snaps of some of the work that’s been arriving…..but the battery was dead….so stay tuned for images !!

On Wed night we have the AGNSW WAGS group cocktail party at 2 Danks. It’s looking like a big night, with all the galleries open. Our showcase is going to be a feast for their eyes!
