Opening night at the Tom Bass Prize for Figurative Sculpture Juniper Hall Paddington Sydney 2022
I felt very fortunate to be a finalist and a part of the exhibition. I was in the front room accompanied by some incredible work by Paul Trefry . His work "Old Charlie liked to dip his toes in the water. " received the peoples choice award. Huge congratulations to all the winners. Maudie Brady (vic) Jess MacNeil (NSW) Fiona J Schoer and Paul Trefry and all of the finalists.
This was my piece Endure. Handmade paper from property grasses and bulrush, banana fibre, tissuetex paper thread ,methyl cellulose ,metal armature and glass beads.
It was a super fast trip down to Sydney to install the sculpture and back the next day but was able to fit in a quick trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art where I was so excited to see the Kiki Smith tapestries. I am a huge fan of her work and the five tapestries were incredible. Each one took a year to complete in a collaborative process between the artist and the Californian fine art print studio Magnolia Editions.
