playing without care

I've been playing around, without really caring about how the images may finish up, and whether or not they are actualy something I may use later on. It's quite fun, and refreshing to do this.

Here are a couple of these playings, I have some others but they'd need to be photographed with a digital camera so you could see them, however, my digital is away being repaired as we speak. So you'll just have to wait.

the morning after

After a weekend of new people, new stimulation and new encouragement, I am excited about some experimentation, and playing around. Auckland it self was much less inspiring as I have always had a fearful aversion to stop start traffic and people whose dress style can only be described as overtly poncy. However I DID make it from where I was staying to where the tutorials were without too much concern, and I didn't ever get lost without being able to find myself again pretty easily. However I was somewhat confused as how to get from page 2 on the map book to page 48, especially when it was only a five minute drive, maybe I should invest in a slightly bigger map.

Anyway, here is another pairing that I played with earlier this year.

I'm back!

I am in a new house (third move in as many months) and we have finally got the Internet up and running. Although it is rather slow, not much faster than dial up really, so posting images will be interesting, but none the less, will be done. This weekend I go up to Auckland for the first of the tutorials for my MFA. It is quite exciting, I am looking forward to being in an education and critiquing environment once more. I await the sleepless nights. And also on that note, I am pregnant, so yet another reason for sleepless nights. I won't bore you with the details though, but I'm sure I won't be able to resist self portraits of a growing belly.

My new work is looking at culture, symbolism and self identity especially in a NZ context. Below is one of my colour pairings that I am playing around with. Hopefully there will be many more posts in the near future, now that I have no excuse anymore, so do drop in regularly! Feedback is welcome!
