FutureWorld the Exhibition at Princess Margaret Hospital

A busy few days have been spent this week setting up the exhibition at PMH.  Rebecca De Rooy the curator at the hospital has done a brilliant job of curating the exhibition and we have worked together hanging and displaying the artworks.

This project has been an enriching experience and I am truly privileged to have been chosen as Artist in Residence at PMH for 2013! Thank you all you wonderful teachers and staff at HSS!

The students I have worked with have been inspirational and every day  I was presented  with a new challenge!

There are nine small works on canvas eight by the students and one of my own (Top right hand corner). The students were given a prepared canvas with a background colour and some blotches of paint, they then used this as the foundation for their many and varied artworks. Some of the works incorporated collage using a variety of art papers.

The exhibition space at the Megazone has been completed and our exhibition looks excellent!
There are six works based on drawings by the students these have been digitally enhanced and framed. 

 This painting has been gifted the the PMH collection it is a large painting 100cm x100cm and depicts my interpretation of an alien forest complete with bizarre life forms.

The display boxes hold the sculpture works of the Bentley Adolescent Transition Unit and the Children from Family Pathways at Shenton Park,

The sculptures done by the student from Bentley Adolescent transition Unit were selected for exhibition at the 'Young Originals" Art Exhibition at Edith Cowan University in August. This was one of the highlights of the Residency.  The students made  innovative and unique pieces out of recycled materials.

The children at Family Pathways, Shenton Park had great fun messing about with polystyrene shapes and plaster of Paris bandages making these delightfully colourful models!

The piece on the left was a collaborative piece worked on by a number of staff members at the Bentley Transition Unit. 

A series of artworks have also been installed in the main entrance:

As with the works exhibited at the Megazone these are on prepared canvas with a background colour and some blotches of paint, they then used this as the foundation for their many and varied artworks. Some of the works incorporated collage using a variety of art papers.


Further works have been installed on this level:

These pieces are semi-3D and consist of pieces made by the kind and some digital prints of their works mounted to give a 3D effect.

These paintings are acrylic on canvas and continue the theme of Future World. I have used bright colours to describe my alien-scapes and iridescent paint to give life and sparkle to the pieces.

The Undergrowth is the third large collaborative piece installed at the Megazone. It again comprises work by many of the students and a number of staff members.
