Collage and Mixed Media Artwork

Here are three collage works made to a theme suggested by our group Melbourne Collage Meets.  The first prompt and image was wreath or circle, the second was dog and the third was Flinders Street Station (a famous Melbourne landmark).  The next two images are acrylic paintings on watercolour paper of hydrangeas with a little pencil work on them.

Our Melbourne Collage Meets group have now been meeting for a few years at a Fairfield Cafe and our newest group in Fitzroy North have been meeting for around 6 months.  The latest news is that a new group will be formed very soon, possibly in Ivanhoe or somewhere surrounding this area.  If you are interested please know these meetings are free, they are not workshops yet we do influence one another.  The only cost would be to buy a coffee and cake or similar to support the cafe we meet at.  More information can be supplied if you contact me.

 

Exhibition until 20th December

Assemblage of found objects

Still a little over a week to go for my exhibition at Fairfield Library Gallery Walk (Station Street Fairfield).  Hope you get a chance to see it. Everything is listed on the QR code however if you go to my website I have all the works on paper and sculptural assemblages listed (also priced). Just contact me directly if you are interested in anything.  I can deliver if local or post to you if you are far.

Cetta Pilati who is also exhibiting has some gorgeous marble and steel works. They are some of the very smallest work she has made so it is a great opportunity to collect a piece if you have been thinking about it.

We would really love you to see what we have been making.

My assemblages are found objects, toys, blocks of wood, scrabble bits etc., from op shops and garage sales and bits and pieces that I have hung on to for years.  I found people were very interested in what I was doing and that they were very generously gifting me some objects to use.

The collage characters are from found images in old books that I have collected for years.  I made a series of these characters about 15 years ago and have just revisited making these again.  I have added some wood blocks on the back of them to give them some distance from the wall which makes for more interesting shapes and shadows.  The character collage works in Fairfield are displayed on blocks because I do not have a wall behind to hang them however blocks can be supplied and more permanently secured to the characters if you wish.  I personally love the lone figure sitting unexpectedly on a wall.

Very, very sadly, I have not been gifted any old books or ephemera with pictures of animals or people or birds or dancers that would be good for collage. 🙁

Mouse.   Character Collage with block attachment on the back as wallart.  $50

Please keep in mind that I am still available to do workshops in art with beginners or more experienced in various Media.  See my pages for works on paper, painting etc.

You can do a one on one class, a one off class, series of four classes or ongoing fortnightly classes to suit your needs.

Thanks for visiting, Wishing you all a fabulous December. 🙂

Congratulations and good luck to all the participants in the Alphington Open Studios.  Just letting you know that I will not be participating this year as I have several other things happening.

My work is available for you to view at the studio in Alphington just send me an email and you can come and have a look whenever it suits.

I will be having a small exhibition with artist Cetta Pilati at the Fairfield Library Gallery Walk (the little windows) from the 4th December until the 20th December 2023.  We have both selected lively small scale pieces that have a bit of fun and whimsy about them.   We have left our contact details including a QR code within the display cabinets.  This exhibition is not manned however Cetta and I are available to answer any questions you may have about the work.

Other things happening with my art

I have entered an abstract artwork that I have called From Collingwood to Fitzroy and Back in the Brunswick Street Gallery Small Works exhibition.  I’ll post a picture when the exhibition opens.

I have two abstract paintings in the Linden Postcard exhibition.  This year they have made the works a much bigger size than the postcard description.  I’ll post images when it opens.

I have several works going into a beautiful boutique in Korumburra soon.  It is called Small Forest if you happen to be out and about the area you should pop in for sure.

I’ll keep posting more pictures of the work when the exhibitions commence.

PS the unique metal and marble flying fish/bird is Cetta Pilati’s work.  www.cetta-pilati.com.au
