Art in Ed: November 2007
http://smarted.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. Sydney, here I come! So, earlier this year, after the mammoth effort of getting my succesful exhibition underway, I am wondering where my art is heading. should I change direction. try somthing new. and I did for awhile. playing around with machinima and cartoon videos. And then the offer came out of the blue to do an exhibition in a new art gallery PromenArt. In Balmain in Sydney. Had I anything to say? Well I was engaged on a forum looking at postformal thinking - vision.

Art in Ed: January 2006

Tuesday, January 31, 2006. I've just this minute finished painting a piece and I am still scraping glue off my fingers. It is called. And you will notice that it continues with my black, white and red theme. (except for the dog poo which is realistic poo brown. (which is a colour that is very easy to mix as my 4 year old neice can attest to. she loves seeing what happens when all the colours on her pallette mix together.). The image came to me after watching Reece Weatherspoon in Legally Blonde. If you w...

Sunday, March 18, 2007. Finally, the ladies will go on the plinths! Exhibition go, go go! Today in about 2 hours I will be running a military operation. 4 cars at intervals will be invading Salamanca Place, my crew will be commanding parking places. Then with precision, they will be unloading precious sculptures from each car. Taking them up a flight of steps to Off Centre Gallery with no tripping, or dropping the sculptures out of the bottom of boxes, or knocking pieces off. Posted by Sue Stack @ 7:30 AM.

Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Exhibition looming. breathe in. and remember art is fun! My next exhibition is only 2 months away and I am doing the calculations in my head. that means I have to paint 3 - 4 pieces per week, start my brochures, signage, catalogue, have marketing plan. aaaagh! In november I finally sent off my thesis to my examiners. A sigh of relief. A week or so to sit back, and relax. Within a day I had ideas for seven new pieces which I put into clay over a period of three weeks. I was ...

Wednesday, February 07, 2007. What does it feel like to be a woman photographed or painted? I have a lovely book of reclining nudes by famous artists from across 200 years or so. Last year I decided to sculpt Lhote's Bacchante. I moved into the pose and a strange thing happened. I connected in a completely different way to what I might have experienced if I was just looking at a painting. Did the women connect at a different level? Can we now ever look at a nude painting in the same way again? An invitat...

Saturday, April 29, 2006. I have been head down writing my thesis and so my art blog has gone by the wayside. Ooops! Am I doing Integral Art? Integral Art holds that:. All perspectives are valid,. Some viewpoints may transcend and include others. Where you stand is what you see. Just looking at his pictures I found myself pulled to attention, recalling who I am, in the most profound way. My unpeeling nude does not call me to attention. nor bring out the best in me, nor cause me to transform. I th...An in...

Art in Ed: December 2007
http://smarted.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 22, 2007. Its all in the process. Here are some different threads that seem to have come together in that trembling space behind my eyes. I have just been into an art gallery which is a co-op with a little exhibition of the members and I came across the work of Holly Webber. So now I wondered about the notion of pattern. How does a scientist think of patterns? How does an artist think of patterns? What does a viewer of the art think of the patterns that they see? What is the difference...

Sunday, February 19, 2006. Earth as lover, earth as self. This piece's title was inspired by Joanne Macey's book of the same name;. Earth as Lover, earth as self. So with this in mind, what sort of piece might capture that sense of self as organically and spiritually intertwined with the earth? Is it a co-incidence that made from clay it is connecting at a fundamental level to earth itself anyway? Now I turn it right way up and add the torso and arms using handfuls of clay. Now I am ready to stick the he...
