"Hairy Heracles" gets his hair

I was working on getting hair onto "Hairy Heracles" today. "Hairy" has been created for a show at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery for a show in December called "Come to your senses". At this show viewers can actually touch the artworks.
"Hairy" is shaping up rather well, but I think I will be short of brunette scalps from dolls. I was also thinking I may have to get in a real hairdresser in to give Hairy a decent beard cut.......................so he looks neat. Because he is the son of Zeus I feel he should not have that "rough" look.

I am back to blogging

The Studio downstairs just before my last solo at Side Tracked Depot in Bowral May this year.
Working on "Edna" there one of my flower heads (she was sold at the show so she left home!)

Lots of things have happened over the last 18 months. My work has progressed to mainly using only skin tone doll parts I seem to hav emoved away from the colourful toys. But guess what I still collect them and search for them in the op shops. I know one day I can make a great head from those toys so I am slightly overcrowded down stairs.

The show went really well in Bowral. I also had 2 of my faces in next door at the Milk Factory Gallery and sold one of them, which was great as "Athena" went home to another artist's house.

I am still hoping that a Sydney gallery will "find" me one day....it may happen soon as more and more of my pieces are springing up around the place.

Currently I have "Julia is always on Tony's mind" at the Blacktown City Art Prize,
"Juno, the other Hera" in the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize and hope fully
"Zeus" will be selected for the open section at Fisher's ghost Art Award.
