postcards from the edge....

as I started to mention on the shortest day

I've printed a series of postcards...

mostly of works from my MFA project

codex infinitum - the infinite book

there are ten different designs

 

 

 

all printed full colour with a glossy finish (on one side)

they have a small white border around the pic
(so they can be popped into a nice little frame if you like)

 but I've enjoyed hanging them on my old door with mini bulldog clips

now I'm looking to create a nice little online shop space
to share these (and other) small works

I've looked at big cartel, etsy, having a paypal button on my webby site
but I remain unsure which way to go....

(if you have any thoughts on this I'm all eyes and ears!)

in the meantime if you fancy any/all of the little cards

drop me a note and we'll work something out

the cards retail for AU$2.90 ea or AU$22.00 for the set of ten cards
 

plus postage 


how does that sound?

....

honestum circuli - the artists book...

and finally - the last (but by no means the least) piece
from the codex infinitum project
that I've not shown (anyway)

allow me to introduce you to my large artists book

honestum circuli - the virtuous circle....

 

 

 

honestum circuli - the virtuous circle 

is both a semi-permanent physical structure 

in the form of a book/herb spiral 

surrounded by an emerging dye garden 

with citrus trees and associated beneficial plants

AND

an accompanying book consisting of 

garden plans and musings,
original drawings, calligraphy and collage, 

 progress photos and musings on the nature and value of 

spirals and gardens and art
(and art as gardening and gardening as art....)

and no -- I didn't end up exhibiting this work at switchback... 

(it seems incongruous when placed near the other work in the show don't you think?
wellllll that's what I thought!)

but the importance of the work in terms of my research project 

cannot be overstated (it figures highly in my exegesis)

oh and here's how the virtuous circle is looking today...

(time to pull on the garden gloves and get back out there!)

long weekend... looooooong book

This June long weekend in little aussieland

 

and the end of my MFA is nigh(ish)

so I am hunkered down

 busy binding and filming and writing and reading

(and binding... and binding... and binding... and binding) 

Here's hoping your weekend
 

(long or short)

is looooooooong on happy moments
