Work in progress, exhibition 2014 BRAG Artist Books

In just under a year I am working towards a major exhibition.

Artist books have been a passion for many years, since my  first experience in viewing a large folio of etchings some thirty years ago I have been hooked on the art of making and creating artist books. During the upcoming months I will endeavour to produce a new work each month as well as make ready existing works for the exhibition, so starting in June2013 work will begin.

Big kate....leaving for good,!,,,,

 Nine months, have passed since my darling husband had a stroke, I thought my world and his would dissolve into endless hours at the hospital, dreading each passing day not knowing if he would survive, walk, or  talk again. We have returned to a life, different, difficult and at times heartbreaking, each day presents a new problem, sometimes I win sometimes I lose. The progress is slow, walking is tiring for him, talking is mumbled words, frustration on his part, he knows what he wants to say but can’t.  As time passes we will make the best of each day, good or bad, the absence of friends is noted, only a few stay in touch now? It’s uneasy for others to understand that he is still the same man....needs friends..... Big Kate..my Albion printing press has gone, no doubt the first of many things to leave us, sad but necessary.

Ideas for first day France

-
France, my first week in Paris will be just as I imagine, romantic, breathtaking , timeless, ancient and modern. Summer, the French holiday season will be bursting with activities and I will be there to see, explore, experience and enjoy. First things first, arriving in mid July, the first day I will take in a river view of Paris; situated along the river Seine is every building of note in Paris. A boat trip will introduce the cultural and historical aspects of Paris and give me a chance to get over the long flight. Above all, it is the art and culture that has my attention, this viewpoint may differ with time spent in Paris. First Day, Visits to Musee du Louve (home of my friend Lisa) Musse d’ Orsay ( former grand railway station) Musee de I Orangerie ( 19th century painting) Musee Picasso Musee de Victor Hugo Musee d art Petit Palais ( Museum of fine Art) Grand Palais ( Science Museum) Notre Dame Pont Alexandre 11 ( Ornate Bridge) And lunch at the Eiffel tower.

A Book for Christine Turner

-

Christine Turner has been a breath of fresh air in the arts in Bundaberg Queensland.  For many years   she has worked in the area of painting, recycled assemblage, installations, computer art and animation, she has inspired so many young artists to take up art. Chris has been a focal point in the arts not just as an artist but  also as  a gallery manager, curator and community arts worker. With the establishment of Dirty Linen an independent gallery space, Christine provided a suitable venue for young and emerging artists and without restrictions she provide a platform, for artists, poets and musician.  Sadly Christine is moving to Brisbane so with the closure of Dirty Linen, Bundaberg has lost an alternative art space but hopefully Christine will continue her arts practice well into the future. The artist books featured, is a collaboration by Beryl Kitching, Sue Hutton and myself and was presented to Christine as a gift.
