Restrictions have eased but Covid is still here with us lurking so as a man on the radio said, "stay safe, think you have Covid and everyone else has it and that way when you venture out into the open you will take those precautions and stay safe and ultimately keep others safe". The incredible sunshine of late in the Autumn season allowing for the venture outside to go for a walk around the lake or along the Wyong river such a blessing. With all the lock-down it seems as though the winged ones have come from near and far to visit on the waters edge with an abundance of pelicans, plovers, white cockatoos, magpies, ducks, black swans, cormorants. None of them of course practising social distancing.
As an artist I have been kept very busy with my three C plan after the storms and flooding of February entered my studio through the roof. This led to a major cleanup and the three C plan of Clean, Chuck Create go into operation. The Clean part took weeks going through everything, waiting for repairs, getting rid of black mould, mopping, shifting furniture, equipment and art works from one place to another in an attempt to make sure all the dirt, mould and water was gone. Happy to report that the Create part of the plan has been in action for a couple of weeks with repairs finally completed and things back in order and a space for work.
So with all your exhibitions, groups, travels cancelled what do you do??? You clean, garden, walk, plan, zoom, research, draw, create plates for printmaking, sleep try to eat moderately and create works that will reflect the time and space you are in now.
