install day no.9

we have arrived…. jen and i installed our exhibition yesterday and oh what a day. i was truly astonished and the pure joy and jubilations of the day. having worked toward something for many months with a goal and a purpose, and to see it on the wall is such a satisfying position to be in.

the hang went pretty smoothly i must say, how fortunate i am to work with someone so in tune and on the wavelength of tasha, of ”lets do this!” and i also being on that same wavelength of jen and with our high-end out there design mentality of “well of course let us do this!”, it was too cool for school. let us follow our own fabulous agenda, float our own tug boat… i had a fantastically tiring wonderfully surprising and movingly productive time. the arranging, the drilling, the ladder climbing, the dancing, it was all there. all for the indulgence of our own, an indulgence of our creativity, sharing our art with the world, the pure excitement of it all, really. hard to put these kinds of feelings into words, i am trying my best, smiling as i write, but those of you who know me, would probs get the gist or the idea. a purely positive creative production.

we were very satisfied with how all of the artwork seemed to gel as well, so different is our practice, jen being an installation artist and me a traditional type painter, drawing etc….yet we are similar too, maybe its the gold… an amalgamation of ideas, sensitivities, gratitude and wonderment of the beauty that surrounds us, it is spring i suppose. everyone would be enjoying flowers at the moment. so we are glad that after such a time we have all had… we are bringing some of our exquisite euphoria to the city of Sydney. our joy in it all is apparent, so that is worth everything, to us it is anyways!

 so… if you are in Sydneytown, i do hope you get a chance to pop into gaffa gallery to see the fleur de rouge extravaganza!

SOIREE!
