I have just entered these in the Toorak Village Art Walk, which is not a competition, but an annual event held by the Toorak Village Traders Association. Artists are invited to submit three artworks to be exhibited in the shop front windows in Toorak Village. What an opportunity.
The three images I selected are from a series of five I made based on a recent family holiday to Port Douglas. They are painted strips of canvas, which I have sewn together to evoke a landscape. Each piece took me roughly a day to sew. I did this sitting on a cushion on the floor of my icebox (read studio). My hands were red from cold and I believe I nearly froze to the floor. By the time I had finished making these, Port Douglas was a distant memory.
The Toorak Village Art Walk will run for four weeks from Monday 19 October until Sunday 15 November.
