fill in the blanks







Think about space, escaping, hiding spaces, building a house on a moving object. thriving in departure zones like bus stations and airports. standing still in a dust storm or at the top of Martin Place. waiting watching. think about closing your eyes and imagine running so fast. you breathe fast, start gasping for air and you haven't moved a muscle. lying at the bottom of the pool and looking up through the water. diving. listening to your breath. closing your eyes.







then think about construction/fabrication/make up masks/costumes/houses.







games/ ladders/interiors/superfluous decoration and the definition of O.T.T . and imagine how much you can hide under that distraction, colourful beautiful creative mess.

What I Had I Gave Away - Our December art exhibition in progress.


It has been a while between posts this year, And now that it 2011 is drawing to a close I will be heavily updating both this site and my other website (www.amandahumphries.mosaicglobe.com). I have been working while in constant flux all year...living between three places, Moree, Sydney and Perth. Life is vibrant and my quiet contemplative times are far and few between for a change...though it's been a rather nice energetic change. I do miss the space to breathe and think about it all though. And now I have a computer! and a place to Sit still.
I moved back to Sydney and found myself a studio after a few years of working from the cottage on the farm. the studio is called May St Studios http://www.maystreetstudios.com.au/. There are 30+ artists that work from here. I will be moving to Perth in January 2012 so on to new adventures (and on to trying to find a great studio)
