'Theatre Of The Grotesque No. 1'
‘Theatre Of The Grotesque No. 1’Hand woven tapestry This was the first in my Theatre Of The Grotesque series, in which I explore my childhood trauma through a series of vintage illustrations/photos - this one is from a cataract operation from the 19th century :O In this first piece I didn’t use text, as at the time I thought using text was far too obvious … though, to be honest, this means my messaging was way too vague. Saying that, I still really love this tapestry, as confronting as the imagery is. Massive thanks to Josh Juett for the photo...
My reel that went viral on Facebook!!
Yes, you read that right ... randomly, this reel that I created on Instagram, and automatically posted to my Facebook page now has 699,000 views (and counting!). CRAZY!A few trolls have commented, but I have thick skin, haha!
'Road Trip: The Murray Bridge Bunyip'
‘Road Trip: The Murray Bridge Bunyip’After about 140 hours of weaving (and a few more hours of finishing the hem to go) - here she is in all her glory!This tapestry will be included in my Summer Solstice collection that will be released in December, but please DM me (or share with someone who you think may want her!) if you are interested in giving Bertha a new home :D
Mr Moon is on the loom!
I’m experimenting with smaller tapestries in the ‘Road Trip’ series, and although Luna Park in Melbourne is not * technically * one of the ‘Big Things’, I am fascinated by how creepy he is.And yeah, I definitely have to do the changing faces of the Sydney one too !This is one of those tapestries that are not making sense right now, but I’m sure it will all pull together soon!!
Are you feeling LUCKY?
Are you lucky?I personally believe that you are what you say you are.So if you say ‘I’m never lucky’, you’re right.If you say ‘I’m so lucky’, you’re right.You get to choose.How you see yourself plays out in your life.I created these works as a talisman, sigil, reminder … you are who you say you are.I see so many people using negative words to be ‘cool’ - it’s not cool to use positive words ;)I don’t care - even if it’s cheesy and uncool, here I am. Spreading good energy and vibes!This piece (and others) are available in my TEXTural exhibition...
