More image weaving! I was hoping to have one of the woman’s eyes showing but then I’d lose the dinosaurs eye, so decisions were made.

Playing with weaving images together, and trying felt as a backing, I’m going to play a bit more with felt in collage I think.

Diary Work - ever since I was a little kid, dinosaurs have been a constant interest. When the world got hard I could always retreat to my books about prehistoric creatures 💚

Diary Work - there was a time, when my dad had time off work you would hear the cries of an uncaffeinated man echo down the hallway. These sad calls, who was to not pop the kettle on? I had to take mercy on that poor soul!

Diary Work- My poor new GP, he actually listened to me and suggested specialists and tests and actually did doctor things. And what did he get for his trouble? Me having a big old cry in his office. (He was very understanding and frustrated on my behalf)#art #artist #adelaideartist #australianartist

Diary Work - Sometimes I get excited about a subject and I don’t realise everyone else isn’t as interested.

Diary Work - when I first started playing with paint as a sculptural element I got super impatient with how long everything took to dry, but after making several works that take weeks to months to dry I am now a lot cooler with the idea that the works will dry when they are ready to dry.#art #artist

Diary Work - Where I grew up was in the tropics, and a side effect of this was you’d frequently find green tree frogs chilling in the loo 🐸

Diary Work - A reaction to not knowing what going on with my health, trying to get answers - but trying to stay bright while being scared.

Diary Work - This could apply to so many things, but atm it’s health stuff and waiting for answers.

Hand making a frame for one of my diary works because apparently 42cm x 5cm frames aren’t commercially available lol

Diary Work - long covid is no joke, I have permanent lung scarring and all sorts of other things that keep popping up. So often my answer to the question ‘how are you going?’ Is …

Diary Work - dealing with various medical situations can get pretty stressful. Sometimes you just need someone to give you a little reassurance.

I love when the paint does exactly what you hoped. Hopefully those cracks will open even more as it dries!

First post! I’m an Australian mixed media artist, I paint, craft, I draw and also dabble in video and soundscapes.
