HarbourSculpture Fantastic!

Thanks to my family and friends for all the support I've received RE 'Mapping Place' at HarbourSculpture. Yesterday afternoon/evening's Community Launch Party was terrific despite the wind and cold. So interesting to see the sculptures in different light situations with beautiful Sydney Harbour, the Bridge, and city skyline and the grounds of Clarkes Point Reserve as a backdrop. The HarbourSculpture committee have been great, putting in countless hours to organise and coordinate a successful exhibition. Thanks also to all the volunteers for facilitating the event.
Thank you to Anthony Bond and Macushla Robinson (exhibition curators) for awarding me one of 4 stipends for my work, Mapping Place. And a huge thank you to J Steel Australasia for sponsoring the stipends. Your generousity and support of the arts adds to community vitality by broadening the way we see and articulate the world. Thank you.
One last thank you to Deckhouse who provided a marvelous opening night on Thursday evening. The food and wine were absolutely delicious and the service, faultless. I'd love some more melt-in-your-mouth tandoori lamb cutlets and those incredible macaroons!
Below are a few images of the work in situ.
These pieces (27 in total) are handbuilt using several clays (not combined) to obtain a variety of textures - Keane's Special K & Toast & Feeney's BRT. The layered, painterly surface is a combination of terra sigillata, iron, rutile & manganese pigments, blue slip, paper resist & tissue transfers under dry and stoneware clear glazes. They were raw fired to cone 9 in oxidation using electric and gas kilns. Luckily they all survived.
I'm really happy with how they sit so well into the environment; how the leaf patterns echo the fallen leaves surrounding them; and the colours reflect the earth, sky and water.
There's still time to catch the exhibitions - Internal (finishes 23 July) and External wraps up next Sunday 27 July.

Mapping Place (3 of 25)Picture
Don't miss a visit to Clarkes Point Reserve, Woolwich to take in the sculptures along this beautiful Sydney Harbour foreshore reserve. Can't make it during the day? Then come in the evening until 10pm when everything will be lit up for your pleasure.
Catch the ferry, enjoy a wintery walk along the harbour with views of the Harbour Bridge, plus breakfast, lunch or dinner at Deckhouse where you can view the internal exhibition, open between 9am and 7pm daily.
Keen for some fireworks? Bring friends & family & join the Community Launch Party on Saturday 19 July for food stalls, a bonfire & fireworks.
Mapping Place (3 of 25 pieces - right), my new ceramic work, is one of the 80 sculptures on show.

    I love creating, turning my ideas into reality, being challenged, and immersed in realising an idea. In these moments I am absorbed, inspired and wrapped in my own world. It's wonderful!
