Project Contemporary Artspace (Wollongong) 2008 Last Member's Show by you.

 

Project Contemporary Artspace (Wollongong) 2008 Last Member's Show 2008 I had some photos on exhibition at Project Artspace and today was the final day. You can see one of the four framed photos to the left and right of the artwork  Abstractions of Ned by Pauline Denney which resembles the Ned Kelly outline (two rectangles and a connection to replicate Ned Kelly's hand made bulletproof armour).

The photo on the left was taken at Nan Tien Buddhist Temple and is the view from the main temple looking out towards the pagoda in the distance, with the animal carving details on the roof featuring in their bright orange against the brilliant blue sky. Above this photo is an empty space and a red dot from the sale of my photo of a pink gerbera daisy with a yellow ladybug. I would say I was tickled pink but that would just me being punny. :) The top photo on the right was taken at the Wollongong Botanic Gardens featuring the brilliant red Kawasaki bridge, a gift to Wollongong by its 'Sister City' of Kawasaki in Japan. The bottom right photo was taken at Wollongong hospital on the second floor entrance which is known well to patients who have yet to kick their nicotine habit as one of the few places they can have a cigarette on the grounds. I don't smoke myself but found myself there staring at the symmetrical structure soon after the birth of my Nephew, Levi and just happened to have my camera handy. Most people do not recognise the location of my photograph although they would have walked past it at one time in their lives. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend exhibiting your work if possible. Project Artspace is run by volunteers and community-driven.

Thirroul Seaside Arts Festival is almost upon us once more and I can't recommend it more highly. A wonderful day for enjoying some sculpture by the sea, pieces of art which are made to blend in with the environment or stand out in stark contrast. Most pieces are made from recycled materials and there is a strong animals theme.
