Hi Everyone
OOOps its been a little while since I updated you. Believe me I haven’t been slacking off. I’m got positively googly eyes from surfing the web each night for new and wonderful artists and designers.
Throughout June The Hive showcased Marie Lund’s beautiful Silver Gelatine Emulsion photographs on glass. Marie’s work is about illusion, about mystery, about dreams and hopes held within everyday life. She says “it is about the familiar and the exotic, everyday life is both banal and mysterious and she tries to capture a sense of time passing, of loss and desire, a feeling of being transported into another realm.”
Marie says the subjects: Doors, Keyholes, Windows, Passageways, are all about time, about transformation from youth to old, before and after, past and future. They represent the border between conscious and unconscious, between inner and outer, difficult to cross, harder to return, forbidden to open or to look in.
I have included a photo, but one bad photo of good photos certainly doesn’t do them justice.
I went to melbourne last weekend and discovered a wealth of talent. One of the newies is Lost in the Woods brooches intricately cut from two layers of perspex. Here is a little teaser of the bunny brooch.
New in store are stunning jewellery pieces by Mary Odorcic. Her pieces are elegant, whimsical and delicate. She uses semi precious stones, pearls and resin with embedded flora.
I also sponsored the annual Miss Braddon Gardens beauty pageant with a kitschy bouquet of fake roses for presentation at the crowning. This is an annual event organized by one of my customers Jane Christie and is a bit of a laugh. Everyone attending has to come as a “Miss…..” with the competition covering costume, speech and dance off. I love encouraging a fun time and good ole community spirit.
Cheers
Jenny
