Leather is fun, cont.

Today I am working on, and hope to finish MOL, a small piece I committed to make available at a participants’ exhibition at Fibreswest in Bunbury, Western Australia beginning october 1st. Since I am currently on the other side of the world, that clearly means I will be packing my bags shortly for a brief trip back to Aus.

This is Kimberley 4, one of several works exploring that iconic landform of ours up in the Kimberley, the Bungle Bungles. Focusing on shapes and patterns of marks, similar to those in map making, or is that “traditional crafts” ? It doesn’t matter, because wherever it takes the viewer mentally, I hope this piece will further explore the mystery and the vast age of this region and the multifaceted importance it has for all Australians. Most of all, it is an expression of my hope to ‘sometime’ visit the national park.
