Our Sole Sisters and Friends exhibition opened on Friday August 31st to a HUGE crowd! Thanks to everybody that came along, and who have since popped in over the last week to check it out. It is on this week from Wednesday to Saturday 11am - 2pm at the Old Mount Gambier Gaol, so make sure you come and check it out if you have not yet.
Have included my pieces below... very pastel this time around...
Dream Catch Me
Newton Faulkner
Version 1
$400 (framed)
Pencil and watercolour combined with digital techniques.
Archival Pigment Ink on Cotton Rag Paper.
"There's a place I go when I'm alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be"
...
"Dream, catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all"
If I stumble upon this song while station surfing on a road trip, I must listen, and belt out the tune. Even if the above lines are all of the song I know. The rest can be happy humming.
Peaches
Presidents of the United States of America
$400 (framed)
Pencil, ink and watercolour combined with digital techniques.
Archival Pigment Ink on Cotton Rag Paper.
"Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Millions of peaches, peaches for free"
...
"Peaches come from a can,
They were put there by a man
In a factory downtown"
Bet you are singing this song in your head now, aren't you. That's ok! I love these guys. Only rediscovered their CD in our collection when I started this illustration. Great memories of Year 7. Love the irony of millions of peaches for free, then the belief that peaches come from a can.
Dream Catch Me
Newton Faulkner
Version 2
$400 (framed)
Pencil, ink and watercolour combined with digital techniques.
Archival Pigment Ink on Cotton Rag Paper.
"Dream, catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all"
I really like the above line in this song. I guess we are all afraid of not reaching our dreams, or getting lost along the way. Deep, I know.
A peek of how they look all framed up nicely, thanks to Talie for the photo. I keep forgetting to take pics! Will do that this week before it all comes down!
I am pretty attached to my art this time. Was weird when I sent it to print as I felt like it wasn't quite me, I usually go for bold looks etc, but the way they are framed and presented has really settled me. Had a lot of nice comments too, that is always good.
And here are all of us (minus Simone and Lana)! Impossible to get 9 people together!
me, Anna, Ben, Kristyn, Julia, Mel and Talie
