EXPERIMENTING WITH PAINTING AND COLOURS

Amongst other things, this past week I have been making platters using a different technique and colour palette - rather exciting, but not resolved yet...

BEADS AND BOWLS

My studio colleague Peta (of Projekt) brought these magnificent old African beads to the studio. They looked so appropriate against these freshly painted (not yet fired) bowls...

HENNIE MEYER AT 'RUST-EN-VREDE'

'And our faces, my heart, brief as photos'

Inspired by John Berger - And our faces, my heart, brief as photos

Black and white panel

This is a recent panel which I made for the current exhibition on at Kalk Bay Modern, a variation of the usual panels in that the tiles are irregular sizes which I find rather exciting...

ALL FIRED UP!

The fired jugs have just come out of the kiln...and so I am all fired up as it were to start experimenting further with these new techniques which are inspiring me to find new solutions to form and surface.

'EXQUISITE'

Exquisite is the title of a group exhibition (David Walters and Friends) to be held later this month at
The William Humphreys Art Gallery in Kimberley. We were instructed to make smallish items. I have chosen to make a botanical panel composed of individual tiles with images of birds, flowers, insects etc.

EXPERIMENTING WITH JUGS

In between all sorts of activities I am experimenting with some new work. There is a jug exhibition next week at the Clay Museum..not sure if these will be ready...The images above are still in the 'leatherhard' state.
