4. The Squatters Residency: welcome nails and hooks in amongst the peelings

​Nails and hooks on the walls around have beaconed my little works to spots where they just belong. Returning to yesterday’s little morning painting, now that the light is streaming in again at that time, meant that I could finish where I started.  This little work then found it’s place on the wall where the floral wallpaper recedes showing three layers of peeling paint.  Next, it becomes part of the view in my latest drawing with the morning light billowing through the window. I imagine I could stay here for a very long time and not be sated for a view watching the changing light move around the room.
 
Today I found out a different interior work of mine has been selected for the inaugural Interior Art Prize at Weswal Gallery.  Looking at the finalist list my name is next to Alison Mackay’s.  We have had a couple of two-person interior exhibition’s together and she has an exhibition coming up at Olsen Annexe.  I’d head there to see it and cheer her on, but I am here, so I am not. Go Alison!

But I do head next door to the Annexe here where my day was split by joining the walking group with Ant Fitness.  It was good to view back to the Foundations buildings from the other side of the limestone quarry turned colour-saturated dam.
