Its been busy busy busy since we got back from the rock. Im still working through loads of stuff, took plenty of photos to work with. lots of inspiration, and I started my dot painting last night. Thought Id post a few pics from the trip.
This stuff is amazing. Its all made from old PET bottles by Gilnur Ozdaglar in Turkey. Using scissors, a knifer, soldering iron and an open flame she recycles unwanted bottles into these beautiful jellyfish bowls and jewelry. Check out her etsy shop here.
I've so got to learn how to crochet! This blanket by Swedish illustrator and artists Sandra is just beautiful.
"Half Moon River"
By far my favourite work was 'Motherland' by Joshua Yeldham. It reminded me in some ways of a combination of Japanese silk painting and an Aboriginal artwork. Lines and marks were carved into it, and in places it has little piece of wood poking out which in certain light cast shadows that look like trees seen from the air.
The Archibald is on at the Art Gallery of NSW until 24 May.
