Opening Night of Little Secrets Exhibition
My exhibition Little Secrets opened at NG Art Gallery last night – what a fantastic turnout! Such wonderful support.
Renowned Australian Photographer Juno Gemes opened the exhibition. Juno has a wonderful career working with Aboriginal people and was the official photographer at the National Sorry Day. She has worked as a producer, writer, academic and is an absolute treasure. Juno spoke with such heart and understanding of my work. Here she is lit by her iPad as she refers to her notes.
Crocheting with silver wire threaded with Swaroski Crystals has resulted in this work Sustain Me. This filmy sculpture tumbles from the ceiling onto the gallery floor, linking the internal world of my photographic images with the physical world.
Several of my models came along with friends and family and it was so good to see them talking to people in the gallery about the experience of modelling for these works. These young people are fresh and shiny and full of possibilities. Working with them was great fun and they were so generous with me.
Jenya and I beside two of the artworks in which she features. Jenya’s beautiful face features in several of the works – and she loves to model!
Not only does Grace have a beautiful face she also has an amazing voice. You can read more about her and her band Burn Antares here.
Marcus and I “feeling the love” in front of A Visiting Stranger . He has such a beautiful face and an amazing profile.
