I won the Book Category in Moscow International Foto Awards!

Hehe... I won first place of all the book categories in the Moscow International Foto Awards with my recent publication 'The Shape of Cold'. I won my entered sub-category of 'Fine Art Book'; then won First in all the book categories. I just received an invitation to the presentation ceremony; but can't manage another Russian Visa since I already have one commencing on the 27th August for our trip through the North-East Passage along the north of Russia for 28 days. How wonderful that my connection with Antarctica, and my expression of how I saw and felt 'The Shape of Cold" is now being seen by people all around the world. You can purchase your copy here.

Melbourne Art Book Fair – Momento Pro – My two books being displayed

I have been approached by Momento Pro to ask if they could display my two self-published books "The Shape of Cold" and "Where Do They Go"; during the Melbourne Art Book Fair. How wonderful that my books have this opportunity to speak to a wider audience. So - if you would like to feel these lovely books in your own hands and see my beautiful photographs; and to be inspired to have a go at publishing your own books - pop to the Melbourne Art Book Fair and look for the Momento Pro stand. I have found the staff at Momento Pro to be absolutely brilliant to work with and the quality of their publications to be outstanding. Melbourne Art Book Fair - 16th to 19th March.

She Glides…

With delicate grace
exposing in rawness her strength and beauty
exquisite beneath,
she glides in the stillness
yet she was not truly seen.

Those moments of glimpses are now passed
into memories
and melt
into time.

The cumulation of images…greater than the sum of the individual items – A body of work.

Ok.... 2 weeks to go before we leave for our drive in Penny through India, Bhutan... and beyond... :-) (I will keep you updated when I can with sporadic wi-fi :-) ).... and time is running out for me to share the beginnings of a conceptual body of work which really excited me whilst I was taking the photographs in Greenland.
As a visual artist and philosopher ... my 'bodies of work' are conceptually based; meaning they have a voice. I have a voice through my work. I have a voice which is expressed through not only each single image and artwork; but amplified through the collection as a whole.
Over the past few weeks I have shared some images which are of a 'narrative' nature. Some go a little further and express an emotion I was feeling .... or were catalysts for my introspection. For me - a body of work is different.
A body of work is a collection of images which has a voice...which expresses a vision; a philosophy; poses questions; reflects a unified thought or concept.... and is where the collection of images and artworks is far greater than the sum of the individual items......MORE....

“…the life of clouds is a parting and a meeting… A tear and a smile…”

In the artwork above I have made a sky of clouds; (all images taken on one two hour flight from Brisbane to Melbourne).... where .."the waters of the sea become vapour and rise and come together in cloud..."

artistic influences – Bill Henson

I Love Bill Henson’s landscape images. The dark areas have the most beautiful gradation of tonality. Thank you Mr Henson. I admire and am greatly moved by your landscape images.

"Art was always to me a means of getting in contact with another world..... you could never see that other world and were never told about it, but art seemed to always be kind of touching it."

play

I was asked at an artist talk which I presented recently how I came up with all my ideas. I think what is really important for me is play. There are many different aspects of play in my life. Laughing and having fun with my husband, boys and friends, and then there is playing through exploration of subject matter, location, equipment and settings. I’m always exploring a new way to look and think about things, and I continue to do this through the lens by experimentation. A lot of the time the images are duds, but every now and then a gem appears, and something in my belly knows I have touched on something which deserves further exploration.
