Greyscale, an exhibition at Red Gallery

Greyscale is a group show featuring artwork in black, white and the scale of grey in between.

From my artist's statement:

The television greyscale display has a personal nostalgic value to the artist, taking her back to her youth when programs did not run 24/7. Patricia and her siblings often created their own entertainment. Garden snails were both a source of amusement and curiosity. That curiosity continues to this day. For Greyscale, Patricia has created a series of life sized snail sculptures, utilising real snail shells, collected over years from her garden. Her selection of paper collages reference nursery rhymes and tales.

Crown for Adornment at Lord Coconut.

Crown (SOLD) was created for 

Adornment now showing at Lord Coconut as part of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.

'Animal bones have played a special role in adornment from hunter-gatherer times until now. In ancient China they were decorated with inscriptions and put to the flame in a practice of divination; a way of communicating with their Gods. Many cultures believe people embody the traits of different animals.

Jewellers, artisans and designers have been given a found bone and instructed to adorn it in a masculine way, or use the bone when producing a piece of adornment for men, especially jewellery ... 

The exhibition is a comment on the current explosion of body adornment, both permanent and temporary, as seen in fashion today.'

Created for the Toy to the World project. Text from their website:

'Toy to the World is currently a biennial charity art event involving a custom vinyl toy

design competition that provides both the opportunity for public to witness art creation happening live and the chance for artists to exhibit works while contributing their creations to help raising funds to go toward HIV research in the hopes of improving the lives of those affected by it. The event is split into two distinct parts, the Design Day launch event where artists can collect a plain white vinyl toy and begin work live with provided paints and markers; and the Exhibition & Auction where all the complete works are judged by respected industry judges and displayed while a 2 week silent auction runs. Artists may pre-register their interest for a time slot on the Design Day, or may register to receive a vinyl toy to complete before the Exhibition'

Back view

Painted hand script is an homage to Magritte's The Treachery of Images (La trahison des images).

Detail of tie, collar and coat. 

Note the undone third button as in the original Magritte painting.
