There is a great interview on Artabase with Jazmina Cininas. She works in linocut producing only a few prints each year that are highly developed with dozens of layers. Always good to see how people go about their art practice!
Tasman Peninsula

A trip to the Tasman Peninsula today yielded some wild windy moments and a quiet gentle time as well in the shelter of Parkers Beach. It amazing teh contrast you can find on the Peninsula as the wind will surely be blocked somewhere by cliffs or hills or trees. Parkers Beach has some beautiful sandstone rock faces and piles of seaweed!
This lovely old pressed copper decoration dresses up a gate to perfection - what a clever idea!
Day one

A parcel arrived from London with gifts from my very talented architect son Ross Langdon and now I have a beautiful Picasso print, Face of Peace IV (1950). So before the trek down to the wharf to watch the fireworks I lit a candle for peace and considered the beautiful simplicity of line and form. Ross has some images of his work on his website from a recent competition in Spain where his team won a special mention - very nice presentation!
I know there are super duper snaps of fireworks out there which I will never achieve with my little compact camera - but they are fun anyway! So on day one the sun shines, though snow is forecast for the high slopes of Mount Wellington which seems to be covered in showers so maybe it will reveal a white sheen when the cloud lifts. Snow in summer… interesting.
Resolutions? Finish the degree, finish the degree and finish the degree!
On the eve of 2009

An absence in writing posts is a sure indication of plenty happening to keep me busy! It is a wonderful time to work at uni - not another soul in the printroom and the peace is so calming on the jaded nerves of a student working to finalise the workload.
Also calming is the fruit ripening in the garden - my first apricots glowing in the sunshine and the blackcurrants are ready to pick for jam.
So perhaps the weary bod will manage to stay up for the midnight fireworks display in Sullivan’s Cove… and sign in for another year of making art!
