Andy Warhol Art T-shirt
How could I resist this Andy Warhol t-shirt bought at the Kelvin Grove Museum and Gallery in Glasgow? A very “Andy” holiday purchase indeed, as it goes with so many different colours, dries quickly, needs no ironing and is a comfy, shapely fit. The playful “cool dude” look energises me. Every time I put it…

My Marimekko t-shirt
When I bought this T-shirt in an upmarket Op Shop, on a trip to Melbourne a few years ago, it was already well-worn. I don’t know when my T-shirt hit the retail market for the first time, but I do know that Annnika Rimala created the original design, called Keidas, in 1967. Imagine how different…

The lost art of ship figureheads

She seems to fly above me in the volume of this ship-like space with its billowing ceiling and angled windows, her skirt flowing gracefully as though propelled by the breeze. Aloft on the prow, but not free at all,…

Artroom Insomnia
Normally, seven-year-old George who lives across the road doesn’t pay much attention to my artwork, but this question mark series really had him interested. “What are they?” he asked. “Question marks” I said, as any other explanation would have been too long and complicated. “Oh,” he said as he noticed the collage work. He looked…

Bruno’s Sculpture Garden
Birds, I love them, I’m drawn to them (the feathered variety that is). They have a place in my heart and in art of all descriptions. Last week was national Bird Week in Australia so here’s a post to celebrate birds, sculpture, the Australian bush and natural gardens. Life imitates art: King parrot on the…

Conducted by artist Donna Davis and scientist Professor Darren Cray, it bought together two of my passions – ecology and art. Donna and Darren asked six artists to respond creatively to a scientific project that translocated of tropical plants from their…
