Hi everyone
April brings quite a few new products to The Hive. There are stunning new necklaces and bracelets by Alexandra Guest. They are chunky semi precious stones with quirky sterling silver touches, you’ll feel like a queen (or king if that’s your style).
New Tamba Toys arrived from Tamara Maguire. They are so cute and modern little fellas.
I am showcasing Charlie Sofo during this month. He graduated in Photomedia with Honours from the Canberra Art School (NITA) last year. I awarded him The Hive Emerging Artist Showcase Award because his way of thinking and seeing the world appeals to me.
Charlie Sofo loves capturing life’s curiosities, oddities and every day thoughts. He makes art in and out of the studio, sometimes utilising his kitchen, “if he’s not baking” he says. Charlie says his practice is inclusive of a wide range of materials, often centered on household objects. He works towards affirming a personal experience and exposing the process of making. Charlie often makes his work for particular spaces and involves the viewer in a specific way. For this exhibition at The Hive, he has several small installations based around domestic things and actions that might be common around the home; like lighting a match or watering a plant. Charlie says there is a particular focus on finding out where everyday action and artistic action intersect.
Charlie is currently in residence at Canberra Contemporary Art Space and graduate in residence at the Canberra School of Art.
Cheers...Jenny
