2010
exhibitions, general, my art, tasmania :: posted on January 1st, 2010
The New Year was welcomed in with a flashy storm after a very hot day here in Tasmania. Flashy because it made a lot of lightening flashes across the sky with some deep rumbling to accompany the light show, then only delivered a short burst of rain and very little cool breeze to drive away the heat that had settled in the house. So no trip to the wharf to watch the fireworks this year, just the backyard! You can just make out the row of white socks on the washing line – ah suburbia!
So what does 2010 have lined up? Some of my work from the Master of Fine Art examination exhibition will be on show – and sale – at the Brunswick Street Gallery between the 26th and 11th of March in a group show called Printmaking 10A. I’ll post some more information about it as it appears, but the news blog on my website is also a place to check. I’ll post the work that I will have in the show there.
Also happening is Osmosis 2010. This year we are travelling to Queenstown on the West Coast of Tasmania to delve into the aesthetics, history and culture of the town. It has been a mining town which has had boom times and hard times and the remoteness along with the weather conditions (plenty of rain) make it a challenging place to live.
I took this photo about 9 years ago when I was lucky to have the opportunity to walk around the Queenstown copper mine. This is the edge of the mine which dives into a deep funnel.
So I will be posting events as they happen on the news blog of the Osmosis Artists website, starting with a trip over to Queenstown next month.
Looks like a busy year is starting to take shape…!

Happy New year to you and yours. I hope that you will come and play in the mud with us this year? I haven’t been to Queenstown since I was a teenager. I would like to visit the west coast again and see how it impacts on my work.

Thanks Marja-Leena! – yes hopefully the year will be busy and full enough to keep me out of mischief!

All signed up for some mud shaping Kim – started my ceramics journal already and planning the project! I think I go in on the 12th for an orientation day. See you soon!
