<br />
I have just completed my first international art residency and exhibition! I was invited to travel from Australia all the way to Hungary to participate in an International Art Residency and Symposium held by the Városi Művészeti Múzeum in Győr.<br />

For 3 weeks I have been joined by 12 established and emerging artists from all over Hungary, Slovakia as well as being reunited with my long lost talented artist friend (<a href="http://www.thelonglostwoods.blogspot.hu/">Monika Viktoria</a>) who has been making an artists life here in Hungary for over a year. <br />

Using each others donated artworks we each created a new series which incorporated fragments of each others past works. It was actually a fabulous way to get to know each other, and I really enjoyed the cross over of interests and styles.<br />

I was inspired to try a few new techniques, making works from the fragmental textual rubbings of the artists images to create large biological 'spheres' on paper. </div>

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been experimenting with colours & palettes, using traditional oil painting combined with digital manipulation.<br />
<br />
Oh the possibilities!!! <br />
<br />
We've all used the 'change hue' slide in photoshop for its psychedelic groovyness. But today I employed it as a tool for finding new & interesting palettes. Seeing what colours look good side-by side instantly, opens up a world of colour combinations that would take piles of paint & many canvas's to try out. Cheating & exploring for the modern artist, what else is photoshop for huh?</div><br />

I had the pleasure of staying with them in Melbourne earlier this year, so I got to know their characters. They are both incredible muso's, who play in a huge, fun, Jug band. Camilla on banjo and Piano (hence the piano tie reference) and James on double bass. I used a photo as reference for their faces (its been a while since I've drawn this realist) and had a fun time sketching out their quirky 'antique' clothing, from my inner fashion designer imagination.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This was an initial cartoon sketch to get the idea, size and look. Below is the original picture that actually came in the oval frame I used (second hand). I think she is beautiful so I decided to base the portrait off her whimsical 'bonnet & daisy's' style.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As another crafty side-project to painting, I will be working on a 'Mask' series of sculptures. It must be noted- I didn't make the masks (they are the ones you buy to paint in craft shops). I one day hope to make my own mould and make them from scratch. In the meantime, I will use these to experiment with. My idea is to draw science-like symbols, fractals & organic structures, and then make paper/wax adornments, neck ruffles, alien like webbing, surrounding the faces, so they in part become the central, but less-obvious feature. As I was moving them around to create space on my desk, the light caught them, and I took these photographs. Enjoying the repetition of white faces (not quite human-like, but almost) I thought they also could make interesting & spooky paintings. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Frieda Kahlo 'Self Portrait as Tenuhana (Diego on My Mind)'<br />
I love the strength and resolve, in the autobiographical portraits of Frieda Kahlo. In this particular one, using the dress as a symbol, her portraits always have a beautiful way of referencing her outer culture with her inner world.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">"The women of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec are known to be strong, independent and, at the time of Frida Kahlo, they captured the fantasy of many travelers and artists. By wearing the Tehuana dresses, Frida Kahlo made a statement about herself and her Mexican roots."</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another of my favourites was this conglomerate lemon squeezer... I like anything that looks like a giant microbe. The artist is <a href="http://www.donnamarcus.com.au/home.html">Donna Marcus </a> and the work was called <i>Extract</i>. </div>Extract the Lemon juice?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I am really happy with the way the curators arranged the individual pieces... the whole work is made up of many interchangeable parts, able to exist on their own or with each other... arranging is therefore a subjective & flexible challenge....<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">A good friend of mine was also one of the 40 finalists. She makes exquisite compositions out of old books. This is her work below... as you can see, she also crafted the nifty little plywood box as a stand, filled with the book cuttings to not only display, but to store the book as well.... clever!!<br />

Hey, would you look at that, its me! In the paper! <br />
The local paper contacted me after I found out I was a finalist in the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize. The North Shore Times have an arts section which covers the latest art exhibits & prizes and because I am a local, I suppose I fit their bill! I'm quite excited to get a mention in the article, though petite and ...somewhat paraphrased. I had to have a little chuckle at how they've used a particular shot of me looking up, obviously day dreaming about winning $10,000....<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.laurajade.com.au</div>Laura Jadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398112550944982443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888605468819251408.post-45282034979507540162011-10-20T04:42:00.000-07:002011-10-20T04:42:02.605-07:00The face of a clown...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6J0Z41l2EE5ek9OBwssxWfmrwbQW5_AszqdZBRIRun5orOnUJ8RGxiJB-khK4AZ5y_rrIXDkRhMNDV3fajeYfW6uJz1cJOa0J03ta8MNKHEGyb6XbCf3PpzLZRCV5e9f98vXoKHD6P8A/s1600/Sam+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6J0Z41l2EE5ek9OBwssxWfmrwbQW5_AszqdZBRIRun5orOnUJ8RGxiJB-khK4AZ5y_rrIXDkRhMNDV3fajeYfW6uJz1cJOa0J03ta8MNKHEGyb6XbCf3PpzLZRCV5e9f98vXoKHD6P8A/s320/Sam+1.jpg" width="235" /></a></div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">White Parazoa is a series of small sculptures I have recently made using paper, felt and wax. Initially inspired by the Victorian Era, the geometric forms reference the designs of neck ruffles and lace of the period, while also referencing the cabinets of curios and the rise of scientific discoveries in the 17th-19th Centuries. The work also draws upon the illustrations of biologist Ernst Haeckel, focusing on sea creatures and the array of symmetrical and geometric patterns found in living organisms.</div><br />

I completed this little miniature oil painting after I fell in LOVE with owl skeletons, discovering them during a visit to the natural history museum. They have such personality with large sculls, delicate bodies and amazing goggle-like eye sockets.<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.laurajade.com.au</div>Laura Jadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398112550944982443noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888605468819251408.post-60781145619947471802011-07-19T06:38:00.000-07:002011-08-10T19:08:23.263-07:00Portrait...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0VOtOjkyykwKrYAYPkK-QOiMnJ5sbH9oqdmfThwMkrHiRXDqHDnwBkIBq2B31DPmujaW3CIzf09H6H23kGbpHSOdsyay4BU9teaIuhMtPRDn1jtjzksAT9uD6YomTmimB8bMeD0GnvXA/s1600/Self+Portrait+Small+Dark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0VOtOjkyykwKrYAYPkK-QOiMnJ5sbH9oqdmfThwMkrHiRXDqHDnwBkIBq2B31DPmujaW3CIzf09H6H23kGbpHSOdsyay4BU9teaIuhMtPRDn1jtjzksAT9uD6YomTmimB8bMeD0GnvXA/s320/Self+Portrait+Small+Dark.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><br />
<br />
A self portrait study, based on the 'dress up' photo below. 18cm x 24cm in oils, painted directly onto the canvas, no pre-sketching or planning- I was in a 'let loose' kind of mood! I finished it in one night-time sitting, with just a few touch-ups the next day. It came out rather evil & darker than I had meant it to be, I look cunning or devious! But I am happy with the glowing effect of the light colours contrasted with the dark background.<br />

A small 12'x12' oil portrait I painted a little while ago. His cute smile and glowing face reminded me of the persona of Rembrandt, I nicknamed him and it stuck . I have since given it to my nanna as I think she had a little crush on him.<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.laurajade.com.au</div>Laura Jadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398112550944982443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888605468819251408.post-66405183681880824772011-07-04T18:50:00.000-07:002011-07-04T22:39:22.760-07:00Eliza...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I attended a printmaking workshop at Pine Street Studios, where I learnt how to use solar plate printing. Its fantastic- there are no chemicals. The plate is coated with a light-sensitive emulsion, and similar to the way you expose an image onto a silk-screen, you use an acetate of your drawing/image and expose it under a UV lamp (or the sun). The 'dark' areas wash out in water! You then dry the plate under a blow-dryer to set the surface, and your ready to ink-up!<br />
This is the artwork I made...<br />

I've been working on a series of self portraits, in oils, appropriating my own image to Queen Elizabeth I. In the lace-work detail, I had the idea to incorporate science using cellular patterns, sacred geometry and stellar maps, acknowledging advances in astronomy and the scientific method by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler during the Elizabethan period.</div><br />
