inebriated

not me, the light.
this light expresses Aussie pub culture - the teetering, crumpled form suggests the effects of drinking too much beer and the chaotic, multi-coloured shapes within are reference to nightlife drinking at clubs and pubs.
my foundation year students at UNSW have just had their end of year exhibition featuring graphic design, architectural models, wearables and lights.

the lights are my fave. beautiful glowing forms, very alluring in a dark room.



these are only a few. students had about seven weeks to explore the light form and give it an australian theme of their choice.
none have made lights before.


i'm so proud of them.

wow.
what a massive bunch of weeks it has been.
dealing with double my usual teaching load, double my marking load, preparing stock for two big festivals, AND printing and making stuff for my weekly stall at paddington market.

have just dropped of tees and kaftans and cushions for the Balmain Art and Craft Festival this weekend.
that nearly killed me.
my new kaftan range features vintage prints of sea creatures and i rather like them.

if only i was five people.
that would work nicely.
