Winterpark - Sunday Morning Album Launch

The Dear Patti Smith exhibition is over, and my work is here:


It was a great event! Perfecto. So much great talent - and amazing how artists responded so differently to the tracks. I think my favourite was Lucy Benson who had a video piece projected onto silver stock. Just looking at the work (sans music) you saw a beautiful looped video of water movement - but adding the track too it to a new place. Hard to describe in words, but very beautiful.

Snaps of the party can be seen at Dear Patti Smith, and Winterpark is posting music/artwork each week. A couple more images below...





Nice work M.

Sunday Morning Winterpark Show

The very talented musician Matt is collecting a bunch of our talented pals and "associates" for the launch of his next CD, Sunday Morning.

The new record is sounding amazing, and I've been painting one of the tracks for the upcoming show... Here is me beginning to tackle it a couple of weeks ago. While painting in acrylics is NOT my forte (I much prefer drawings and watercolours) it has been very fun to do something big and different.

Dear Patti SmithThursday (opening 6pm) July 21st - Sunday July 24th.

Hope to see you there, and beautiful work M. x

30 Day Project

I've decided to take part in the 30 Day Project - I seem to be signing up for a lot of things right now. It must be winter.

From their press release,
"Creative people often have the luxury of being able to do anything but just as
often end up doing nothing. Thirty Days Project is thirty deadlines; finish a piece
of creative work by then end of each day.
Tasks expand to fill the time allotted to them, and this is especially true of the
tasks of every-day life. For too many of us minor necessities expand to fill the
hours of the day at the expense of creative endeavours.
Creativity, however, often responds well to a little external pressure. More
precisely, the pressure of a deadline “encourages” decisions to be made which in
turn allow creativity to flow unimpeded.
Thirty Days turns on the pressure with thirty daily deadlines. Each deadline
forces the artist to choose a subject, an approach and a tool and create
something by the end of the day."
Well said I say.
