Much has to be resolved in the next few weeks as I head towards the final exhibition of my MFA at Whitecliffe.
I am producing new paintings circular and bigger than before and they are progressing really well. They are all cut and glued and I have spent the last few days applying gesso to the first one which I have finished today. Still working on the potter's wheel very satisfying working on an even larger surface which is still practical on the potter's wheel. I was expecting them to be too big to manage. They are much strurdier surfaces than before, two layers of board glued together before cutting and the base beneath is made of smaller board disks stacked and glued which I am now filling the edges of with putty, to a smooth sandable surface.
Just have to make a tent for storage of them now as the paint will collect flies and other debris whilest drying.
The catalogue for the exhibition in January is progressing as I have started to insert images trying to visualise the end product. I have to wait for Allie to return from the South Island to get the text from her sorted. mean time I am going to use some of my presentation material and have asked Jane Egan (music collaborator) to think about writing from a musical perspective. Possibly a view from Isla Burgess also.
It is so strange not having my old dog at my side bereft at her passing.
