Images from the residency studio.
Working with lino... but breaking the rules in order to interpret the seed capsule cross-sections in a somewhat painterly way.
Rushing off to an appointment I willpop back and add more details later.
Identifying species I collect is always interesting. The Cooper book on Rainforest fruits of Australia is a huge help.
another cross section...
OOOOO.... love these!

ReplyDeletethese are grand, sophie. keep breaking the rules...
How good it is to wake up to the day, get psyched for work AND find lovely comments waiting.
DeleteYour note encourages Velma. Was wondering re this newish direction ... "cookin' with gas" is good for me!
Wow these are really exciting and beautiful! What lovely results you achieved! Love this.
ReplyDeleteGracias Lorie...
Deletefor one who loves to layer there's room to play with lino... much appreciated!
Yum! I really appreciate following your process during your residency, Sophie.
ReplyDeleteFunny how we worry we are not doing enough Robyn.
DeleteThats been me at the moment! Thrown out of routine, riding bike to shops for supplies in one direction, biking to cafe on another route for wifi, running out to purchase a new little camera that takes macro shots... with all the coming and going it can feel like the studio is not getting attention .... so thanks for reminding me of a process unfolding. Love blogging for bring the central things into focus... and love my bloggy friends.
Adore your prayer flags Robyn... may many be inspired from you passing this on to others!
Hello Sophie,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work. You are such an inspiration. Can't wait to see how this evolves.
Thanks lovely Mary.
DeleteHave been out of touch and wondering how you are travelling!
As I was saying to Robyn ... we know how the journey can be trying out new ideas... and working in isolation adds to the wondering. I feel so much more ready to tackle the lino today after you all visiting with positive remarks.
Made a few new designs last night... am now working between studio spaces - inside the house and downstairs for larger works that ned some tinkering. Unpacked paintings from Brisbane yesterday to show curator Chris and, sigh of relief, he was happy with work. Am enjoying his ideas and energy very much. He suggested the printmaking and has really been a gift in the process up here.
Go well you!

Lovely work Sophie. How large are your editions?
ReplyDeletethank you Annamaria!
DeleteI'm working in an A4 size Moleskin journal and a slightly bigger Japanese watercolour paper journal. I guess you could say my approach is very unorthodox... I like the book format even though its a slow way to work waiting for pages to dry!
I love this series so so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely Natalie!
