spanish angels

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Nancy

An unexpected trip to Spain photographing angels. They adorn entranceways, advertisements, fountains, friezes and fabric, background to battles between beliefs. They hold signs, halos, palm leaves and announce narratives to the tales they are background to. They are paraded through the streets, made of bronze, stone, steel, plaster, paint and textile. Some battle darker angel forms. Pigeons perch on their heads and shoulders and roost in the naves that they have been set into.

knitting Nannas, olives, recycled music and fashion

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Nancy

Arts in the Olives festival in Lost Valley near Beaudesert. Photos from my Flying arts adventure to this delightful Arts festival. There were blacksmiths, protesting Nannas, delicious food, weird and wonderful musical instruments played with a catchy drum beat on an otto bin drum that everyone could try, kite making, printing, weaving and irresistible knitting and  felting in this tranquil olive grove with a rocky stream flowing through it where the children invented games in between performances and workshops.

more winged things

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Nancy

Grievous angels. Today I made a new pair of wings to add to my lost property rack. They are outside drying. From an exhibition called Restoring the Lost and Broken. So many lost and broken things.

printing on ceramics

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Nancy

This week I’ve been helping put designs on screens for Catriona Holland working on some commissioned ceramic sculpture for Paddington. Catriona has been making dainty mosaic pieces from printed ceramics with delicately printed script and I helped with the screens. Catriona has been making memorial mosaic artworks with friends of an exceptional woman to celebrate her life and loves.
