The exhibition will continue until April 21st. see www.blarneybooks.com.au for opening times after the festival.

Inspiration for these works come from W. Benjamin Lindner’s new book “Waltzing Matilda, Australia’s Accidental Anthem”. The foreword for this text has been written by Professor Geoffrey Blainey, AC. Blainey has described it as the new bible on the subject. Benjamin’s Book will also be launched at Balrney Books & Art at 1 pm on the 10th of March. It is being sold there and at all good independent bookshops and my studio/gallery.

“YOLO Man Under the Shade of a Coolibah Tree”

Up until the end of June 2018!

I have had an incredibly busy start to the year. It began with a solo exhibition at the Deakin University Art Gallery at their Collins St, Docklands,  Campus. That exhibition comprising of 26 ink drawings and 7 mosaics, was titled “Yolo Man and his Apocalyptic Alphabet”. I made the drawings in 2016  and the mosaics that accompanied them were made from 2016 – 2018.  In 2016 I did show the drawings as a set of giclee prints and the mosaics at the Gallery of Contemporary Mosaics in Chicago, USA. The show at Deakin was the first time they have been shown exclusively.

Helen Bodycomb  | Pamela Irving  |  Rachel Bremner  |  Caitlin Hughes  |  Kate Butler

A belated Happy 2017 to all my friends, clients and followers.

It has been a while since my website has been updated and that is currently underway by Toni from 2aT Startup.  2017 is a big year for me and I am very excited about the plans ahead.

I am currently working towards two big solo exhibitions in Melbourne.  The first is “Irreverent Tales”, an exhibition being organised by the City of Whitehorse’s ARTSPACE Gallery. This exhibition will contain some of my early works from 1984 to recent paintings, prints and mosaics, some of the works have not previously been shown in Australia. One work is being loaned from Museum Victoria and has not been seen publicly since 1992. I am looking forward to being reunited with it again. The exhibition promotion by the City of Whitehorse reads…

News

I have recently returned from Italy where I was participating in an exhibition called “Bibliomosaico”at Edizioni del Girazole, Ravenna, Italy,  October- November 2013

The Exhibition Bibiliomosaico was conceived by Rosetta Berardi in 2009. It is a thematic exhibition with the intention of stimulating mosaic artists to think about the shape of a book and to create a book object.

My work is titled Mr Logomania.

The other exciting thing I did, was participate in Mosaik Yarismasi, Gaziantep Museum, Gaziantep,  Republic of Turkey, November 2013. I feel very honored to be among the group of artists invited to participate in this event. My sincere thanks to Suha Semerci for organising this wonderful event in Gaziantep.
