In the process of painting a series for the SALA show called Unnatural Selection;
To be exhibited at the wonderful store Eclectik on Jetty Road, Glenelg.
This body of work pays homage to the incredibly cute (and somewhat creepy) faces of the Blythe doll.
'Jetty Road Glenelg presents an inspirational art trail, offering a visual feast to stimulate your senses. Feel the sea breeze on your face and the warmth of a fine coffee as you wander our precinct and admire the art displays in many of our businesses, galleries and outdoor spaces.
The SALA brochure is designed to guide you through businesses displaying art within the Jetty Road Glenelg precinct, while allowing you to enjoy everything that the area has to offer.' To download your copy of the Glenelg Sala art trail please go to: http://www.holdfast.sa.gov.au/discover/sala
I'm participating in two exhibitions on Jetty Road, Glenelg. You'll find them at Number's 23 (Unnatural selection at Eclectik) and 37 (Play at the Bay - in the Bay Discovery Centre) on the map :)

This May I packed my bags for a trip to Sydney to attend the CURVY exhibition opening night and book launch at aMBUSH gallery. I also took this opppurtunity to attend the Semi- Permanent - Two day creative conferences at Sydney Convention Centre. Semi-Permanent is a world leading design conference that to date has hosted 29 events in 9 cities, covering 5 countries, with over 200 speakers and 50,000 attendees. In 2012, Semi-Permanent celebrates ten years of events- that's a decade full of stories and wisdom from industry idols.
Semi-Permanent speaks directly to the individual. It is a forum that welcomes all people with a mind open to creative ideas and the wide world of design. Attendees include Creative Directors Design Directors, designers, artists, photographers, digital creative's company leaders, agency personnel, product and fashion designers and pretty much anyone who operates as a creative. Semi-Permanent was born from a desire to unite the world's design communities with a premium creative experience by the creatives for the creatives.
Being in this venue with like-minded people was such an inspirational experience and I highly recommend attending these unique annual events to all those creatives out there. Semi-Permanent expose creatives from around the world and shows the details of how to make a career from art. Here is a video from the 2011 Semi Permanent (they haven't created a summary of 2012's yet) I love, love, love Semi-Permanent!
