Art of Awareness Exhibition

Small Planet of The Cairns Institute, 2013

I delivered some of my photography this week for the 'Art of Awareness' exhibition which is part of the annual Sustainability Symposium at James Cook University.  The exhibition is being installed in the beautiful new Cairns Institute building which was finished late last year and is a work of art in itself.

B&A with The Gimp

Another slideshow for you to enjoy, this time featuring some before and after images from my portfolio that I have created using The Gimp.  I've never really been a fan of photoshop as I find it counter-intuitive in comparison.  The more that I use this software the more I love it and it's being improved all the time.

Silent Conversation

One of the things I both enjoy about studying art is being pushed in new directions.  It’s sometimes been a struggle for this 'grumpy old man' to take on new things but when they click, (and they usually do eventually) I feel that I am a better artist for it.  One of the things I have begun to explore this year is the idea of depicting conversations without words.  Letting the capture of emotions tell the story instead of words.

Artwork Showcase: "Ask Yourself"

"Ask Yourself" 2013.  Hand-pressed linoblock print on wood.  30 x 60 cm,  Image of print 1 of 3.

Earlier this year I was asked to take part in a pop-up exhibition at The Cupcake Gallery here in Cairns so I re-purposed a linoblock print that I had created at Uni and came up with the above image.  This post describes the process behind the artwork.
