Wash/Backwash - exhibition opening 6pm Thursday 7 February
My new exhibition ‘Wash/Backwash’ opens at M16 Artspace, Narrabundah on Thursday 7 February at 6pm. Come for the excellent, nibbles and - of course! - art. My show includes a video installation and ceramic works that look at the relationship between the felt experience of emotion, alongside the current neuroscience on the construction of emotion in our brains.
Also opening that evening - Interchange, a group exhibition featuring members of both Ausglass and the New Zealand Society of Artists in Glass (NZSAG), and Softly, woven works by Ruby Berry.
Words in Flight - first Canberra Show
After a first outing at the Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland, I am looking forward to performing ‘Words in Flight’ for the home crowd! This piece of poetic theatre - or is it theatrical poetry? - is written and performed by me, and directed by the wonderful Ruth Pieloor. Come and fly with me - on balloons, parachutes, planes, broomsticks, swings - and, of course, bird’s wings!
It will be part of That Poetry Thing that is on at Smith’s every Monday Night on Monday 4 February 2019. The show starts at 7pm with Tony Steven William’s book launch, with me as your chaser! Look forward to seeing you there.
