I had a fun time doing an interview for Lucy Feagins’s site http://www.thedesignfiles.net . You can read me saying silly things and you can see pics of my studio’s texta rainbow.I’m in a contemporary art survey exhibition called Optimism at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in BrisVegas opening in November. They’re giving me an 8 metre wall and I’m looking for naked ladies in Brisbane to feature in some outdoors Textanudes to be created during my residency with GOMA in June. Please pass the word around. The setting will be bush nature and I’d love to get some circus types hanging from the trees or…
I’m a finalist in this year’s National Works on Paper. Will my texta portrait of Taylor Mac , button laden bathing suit clad New York trannie performance artist with dreaded beehive, take the prize? Hmmm. The show opens at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery at the end of the month.
A new texta calendar for 2009 is in the works! All dates guaranteed! This calendar is special because Third Drawer Down is making it a calendar teatowel! I’ll let you know when and where it’s available.
