[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″] [et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] There are often expectations to push a material to & beyond its boundaries when pursuing a design, form or idea so that is original & unexpected. This usually results in considerable wasted material & failures but is also an invaluable way of making new discoveries that you… Continue reading Beyond boundaries

Working with the eventual materials of this project was a significant departure from my typical and ‘safe’ mediums that I am familiar with. The general fragility and unpredictability of these new materials made the tenuous early stages of the creative process even more uncertain. Uncertainty and fear are a normal part of the creative process… Continue reading Within This Skin at ‘Leanings’– Pah Homestead Gallery

My life is imitating my art or my art is imitating my life, which one to be most accurate I’m not sure, but to be honest it is a total bewilderment. The hours that I’ve spent in trial and error of repairing broken objects (originally formed by my hands) have required such tenderness, patience and… Continue reading The act of repair cultivates care

Some favorites from my inventory into object repair from when it was a necessary act in older times, up until some present day contemporary responses.

There was a moment when a piece was waiting for its second firing but instead, was broken into several pieces. In that instant when I stared at the piece while inwardly observing the fragility of the material, the vulnerability of my process and time spent on making became magnified, everything then zoomed outward to our… Continue reading A woman’s work?

This month has been a somewhat challenging one. Off the back of last month, apart from a set back with the clay I was using and the time it took to switch over to another, it was feeling potentially like it would be pretty productive and inspired. I had started to make lots of images of… Continue reading Repair requires transformation

A large scale installation Antarctica – While you were sleeping that was projection mapped 360 degrees around the exterior of Auckland Museum towards the end of last month impressed me hugely. The scale of the 4 year project stunned but it was the sound score by Rhian Sheehan, overlayed with sound effects of the ice that… Continue reading Temporal events

Because I’m not sure yet of the physical material that will best translate my idea, I’ve started with porcelain as my blank canvas, for its potential translucent quality and have been experimenting with marbling effects and creating shapes that eventually are forming (and breaking) around/on the body.   After discussing the conceptual idea with Ben… Continue reading “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them” (Galileo)

The polar jet streams are something I’ve been contemplating for a while in regards to climate change. Naturally there are other complex factors when studying this issue but scientists have made strong links between the rising CO2 levels, wandering jet streams, recent unprecedented ice caps melts (the Arctic hasn’t been ice-free during summer in 100,000… Continue reading All that is solid melts into air
