Vessel Scape

Vessel Scape is a subtle minimalist abstract artwork in mixed media.
This is my work entry in the 'Hidden Treasures', annual fundraiser Postcard Show, Cairns Regional Gallery, Dec.2nd - 11th. 2011. All exhibiting diptych format Postcard works are sold by the Silent Auction process.
(Bids to close 2.30pm for 3pm Auction Sunday 11th Dec.)

Continuing on with my vessel theme for this annual event, the work investigates spatial and ethereal qualities, relationships between physical and non-physical realms, spaces between, states of stillness and an in-between knowing.

Vessel Scape - Diptych: 2 (8×6inches).

Medium: pastel, charcoal, gesso, ink; 

 Support: Arches 300gsm rag paper,
MDF board backing support.

POEM
Notions/thoughts -  
Oft times we linger
In that space
Between
Neither here, nor there
Nor anywhere really
Sitting quietly, meditating
Not striving, just arriving
Being here and now
With presence of
An awareness
Of a life-giving breath
Of spirit
Being

In a physical world

There is a strong sense
Of the sublime
In the inner quiet
In the calmness 
Of spatial
The ethereal
- Qualities of floating
Delicate
Light
Spaciousness

Consciousness/light
Traces
Physical contour markings
Over implied grid coordinates
Passages
Meeting points
Connections
Relationships
Inferred
In time/distance
Traveled
Touched

Spaces between
Stillness,
Knowing-ness
Presence
In spaces between.

 My RedBubble Gallery link to online prints of this artwork.

The work includes 'embossed' textured rice paper I printed and was collaged in several areas (mainly bottom and right hand side areas) on the centre panel.

Preview Publication

A preview article was published in the Arts Nexus magazine about Remnants of Presence. 

Publication 2003 RoP_p12.Arts Nexus.No.50

Non-digital documentation records of photos and a video do exist of this very successful exhibition but most of these have yet to see their conversion into relevant digital media production forms.  

Here is a 'small' image I have to hand on file, taken on the opening day.  The work in the foreground is titled 'Treasure Trove', an sculptural installation completed by yours truly with a collaboration involvement from all participating RoP artists, with each supplying representative 'personal' object pieces.

Art Monthly - Review on 'Tablelands, Perimeters and Parameters' Exhibition

I have posted a blog on Artist Books 3 (Ning community site) about the review in Art Monthly (April 2010 issue) for the Kuranda Arts Cooperative Ltd group exhibition 'Tablelands, Perimeters and Parameters' because, besides my work content for this exhibition being 'artist books', I am able to upload a PDF file there and then make a direct link to the review file here.
One of my works Euca (detail section) has been photo featured in the article.
