exhibition deadline next week

a few months ago i said yes to being in a small group show as part of the sala festival. it was suppose to be a great chance for me to make some new work, i knew exactly what i wanted to make. and then i hurt my back. as a result i was not able to be in the studio making new work. in the end i realised i was limited to finishing off and reworking some things i already had. this wasn't a disaster just not what i had planned.

so the work is all due in one week. i have booked in a photography date late next week, so the deadlines are very real to me right now.

last week i spent most of my time cold working these small bit of glass to turn them into wearable badges.



i had quite a bit of "stock" glass already so it was a matter of revisiting it and making some decisions. i am currently procrastinating on doing up the final layout of the images for the solid colour badges, that i need to get made into stencils to then sandblast onto the surface. i will post some new images once they are done next week. (fingers crossed please)



this is a set of badges i made from some cane plates i made. i really like them, the contrast of the straight edges of the rectangles compliments the loose curvy white lines in the glass. they are all done! yay!

so in the show i will have 2 sets of badges, and then i wanted to include some of the cups i had made last year. i have not shown them yet, and they are just sitting in my studio so i thought this exhibition is perfect for them. the exhibition ins at a place called one small room . it is a small store that sets up a room with a collection of furniture, the works we make will be set in the room as part of the installation, so my cups should fit into the scene quite nicely.

the show is called spaces within and runs july 29th - aug 22nd.

now back to work and crossing things off my list.
