Some clips I found on the net...

Isn't it funny how you start looking for something on the net, you get distracted you end up finding other things? I was at  michellerumney.com  watching this interview about Agnes Martin and went to Vimeo to see what other videos might be interesting and I see an artist I know has commented on the same clip. So I went to his page and got to see him talking about modern art... I found this clip by Artist Danijela Vitasovich which she made during her graduation year at Whitecliffe College... The Agony of the Agnostic is a song by Chris Knox. To create this animation, Danijela painted 144 individual portraits of a series of poses Chris took to express the mood of each one of the characters singing in the video. While posing, Chris had to follow a complex system of mouth charts designed by Danijela, to allow his characters to articulate the lyrics in synch with the soundtrack. The song is introduced by an animated feature starring Danijela herself. Visit her website  vitas

I love our group...

Life has been pretty full on lately! Having Maddy start creche has been the biggest blessing as I have had 2 mornings a week to be me. Maddy loves creche she runs into the centre and doesn't want to leave when I pick her up. Maddy ready for her first day at creche Since January I have been hosting an artist salon through Skype. It started out as 6 artists from around the country and we have made it to the last session with 4 left standing. We have been working through 8 sessions based on the 'I'd Rather be in the Studio' by Alyson Stainfield. It is a pretty intense and a huge learning curve in many ways. Sometimes it has felt like information overload but we are coming out the other end with so much knowledge to get us to the next level in our careers. The best part for me is defiantly working together with with Deanna, Ronda and Diane! I would have been happy to read the book by myself but I wouldn't have got half as much out of it as I have with them by my side

Zeitgeist 3 - Moving forward

I am watching this movie Zeitgest 3 which I want to share with you. This movie AWESOME it has my full attention, and I want to learn more. It's so nice to hear people speaking words that I have been feeling for years. I bet John Lock never knew what the effect his words have had on the whole world. Lets hope people realise how to change our behaviour so the next generation can live long and happy lives. You can visit their website to get the links of the other 2 movies:  zeitgeistmovie.com While I am here I might as well pull a card: WRITE
