spectrescope: May 2007

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Okay now here's the second tagging post. Only this is not called tagging. It's got the rather grandiose title of 'the thinking blogger awards'. Much easier than the 'tagging' - no random facts or confessions. Here's the little thingamy that i'm sposed to put here-. And the obligatory link to the origin of the whole thing. By the way, the picture up top has nothing to do with anything, but I gotta have a picture. Firstly it was Arlee Barr of Albedo Design. That 'awarded' me, then it was Helle of Gooseflesh.

spectrescope: March 2007

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

I made these sculptures for a weekend exhibition where everything had to be under 10 x 10 x 10 centimetres, strangely enough called 10 x 10 x 10. That is even small for me! A lot of my work is almost. They are made of paper, thread, wax, wire, ink, glue, coffee and a wooden skewer. Links to this post. Only problem with the white ink is that the pigment seems to be very heavy, so you've gotta really shake the bottle really really well, much more than with other inks, at least that i've used. Is that it's ...

spectrescope: June 2007

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

This is some stuff i'm working on at the moment, in my studio. I'm making them for a show in Darlinghurst, Sydney, opening August 2. It will be the first show i've had 'all by myself' that is not in wollongong. Some of the sculptures will be pretty big, maybe larger than any I made before. As well as this i'll have drawings and smaller objects and whatever. Hard to say exactly at this point. I am, of course, working like mad. The place is Gallery 9. Links to this post. 410 338 673 would be tagged. In...

spectrescope: filling space 2

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2007/07/filling-space-2.html

Here are some photos of the new studio. I really love it. Probably I would live there if I could. It kind of boggles my mind that I actually have two studios at the moment. Not much more than a year ago I was borrowing Lauren's. Spare room and garage while she was between flat-mates. I'm not really using the old studio right now, though. But it still has an awful lot of my stuff in it. Best compliments, also for the nice studio [.& sorry for my terrible english! PS/ best wishes for the show. Like any goo...

spectrescope: November 2007

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

I confess to being the worst blogger ever. Sorry. Had a really lovely time in Nowa Nowa, and i'm going back for the Long Now weekend. And the launch of Open For Inspection. Come along if you are in the vicinity. I am excited to see the house, my work was the first to be installed so i can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to. Here are some photos of what we did in the community room. Some more photos of my time in Nowa Nowa here. Special curtains were made to keep it all under wraps. Rag and B...

spectrescope: October 2006

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Originally uploaded by me-jade. Yes it's another bloody sketchbook page. I finally got my fancy camera and my stupid computer won't recognize it. After buying a card reader, and having that not work, we realized it must be a problem with my USBs. And now my printer and scanner aren't working either, my computer will not recognize any USB devices. It is all driving me a bit insane. I just want my camera to work and i want it to work NOW. Of course not. And none of the pages of info or downloads releva...

spectrescope: return and recover

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2007/08/return-and-recover.html

I'm still recovering. Actually maybe it was necessary. I'm very pleased with it and the way it all went, and very relieved that it all went to plan. I will write more about it very soon. For now I am recovering. And catching up on emails. These are some photos of the show. I've got a whole lot more, but they can wait. Oh Jade, the show looks so beautiful! Your show, and your work, is so intriguing. Wish I could see them up close. Well done you! I wish I could go and see your work live :). Ben - camping i...

spectrescope: February 2007

http://spectrescope.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

A new way to crumple! Well new to me. I am sure serious crumplers know all about it. I have found very little instructional information so it's an assumption, but a pretty safe one i think. It involves turning the thing inside out repeatedly and creating a fold each time. These ones are made with sewing patterns, and wax. Previously my crumpled things had all been variations on the technique used for the piece in my last post. Links to this post. In my Bundanon studio; Sunanda Khaduria. The fewer the poi...
