Well it's been a year since my last post and what a year it has been. My honours project is finally complete and now back into workshop mode.
The first of many began at Murrurundi, NSW with a really inspiring group called Turning the Pages. They run many art/science based programs up there. I was lucky enough to be teamed up to run this workshop with my friend and uni colleague Trevor Weekes.
The object of the workshop was to create an artwork influenced by artist Maria Sibylla Merian. This meant drawing a combination of plants, insects and birds. The first weekend participants drew their chosen plants, insects and birds in fine detail. Then the second weekend was spent enlarging, composing and creating the final A1 artwork in watercolour and pen and ink.
Some, no actually all of the artworks were amazing. Organiser and artist Hanna Kay is organising an exhibition of the final pieces along with some of Trevor's and my own artwork. This will be held on the 17th November, 2010 at Haydon Hall, Murrurundi.
Can't wait to see them all on display. Thanks to everyone at Turning the Pages for looking after us. They made us feel extremely welcome...what a great community.
