Studio progress

Just a couple of pics to show you the progress of my brand new, gorgeous studio space, tho it looks pretty ordinary at the moment! Top to bottom:
Shell of building with slab of concrete laid. It'll be polished when its finished and will look very contemporary. The guys worked all day to get the right finish on the concrete. The first job was to rip out existing interior so we can start from scratch...its all happening!

Inner shell and plasterboard being done at the moment....I"M SOOOOOO EXCITED!!

Fathers,Sons and Fathers

What a week its been! Have had great publicity with the exhibition at M16 Artspace. Had a segment on ABC TV Stateline show last Friday night, was interviewed aboput the project by Radio 666 Canberra, and the City News did a wee article too! Have still to get the opening night piccies posted, but hopefully won't be too long!

It closes on Sunday so hope you can get along.

Fathers, Sons & Fathers- a Photographic Essay

Well, opening night for the exhibition was last night and it was a great success with about 200 people turning up to see my exhibition and Dan O'Day's There you Aren't.

It was the culmination of almost 2 years work and I feel very proud of it. Check it out at M16 Artspace, 16 Mildura st Fyshwick.

Pictures from the opening coming soon!

a couple of images from the show

Top image is Patto + Chas and bottom image is Geoff + Ben

Each image has added text written by each father, son, garndfather or grandson talking about their relationship, fatherhood and their lives. Most of the words are poignant, touching warm, direct, funny and surprisingly emotional...well that was the effect they had on me when I read them!

Hope you can come along and see the exhibiton, but if you cannot then tune into ABC TV Canberra Stateline on the 5th September for a little look.

Fathers, Sons & Fathers- a Photographic Essay

Hi all,
Opening on the 4th September at 6pm at M16 Artspace Fyshwick in Canberra as part of the VIVID Festival of Photography ( www.nla.gov.au/vivid ) is my exhibition after a long two years of capturing the images and trying to work out just how I am going to present them...
Have got some lovely images but the best part is the fact that the participants have written some words to compliment their images. I have found the words make the whole project come together so beautifully and if there weren't any, it would just be a series of nice portraits of men and boys...
I am sharing the space with Dan O'Day, photographer and artist, and his exhibition There you Aren't and we would love to see you there. Dan's images are SOOOO different to mine I was worried how it would all look in the space, but we both feel that its going to look great!!

We are excited!!

Its on until 14th and the gallery hours are 12-5 Wednesday to Sunday...

If you cannot make it to the opening then the is a piece on Sateline ABC TV on the 5th September...

When I get organised I shall post a couple of images, but I shall also post some images of the opening too!

yee haa!
