Sifting through the past artworks

I have about 200 artworks and am slowly getting rid of the ones that I don't want to hold onto - mainly paintings, as I think my drawings are worth keeping. Here's one I will be holding onto as it's 32 years old. It's a polaroid self-portrait printed on A2 French printmaking paper that I made in 1995. I did a series of Polaroids and I look different in each one. I called this one Japanese Me because it reminded me of a Japanese postcard that I'd seen. All came under the title of Book ot the Other. I feel like I should do this clean out in order to know which direction I take in the future. So, art is on hold for me whilst I sort through past work.

Talking to Clayden's

I saw James Clayden's art exhibition at blockprojects at Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn yesterday and was inspired by his beautiful, large scale paintings, so, I did a response this afternoon. It's Acrylic paint on A3 Arches.

Winchelsea - this woman may be an ancestor

I recently purchased this old photograph, which was part of a deceased estate from Winchelsea in Victoria. Does anyone know who she was? The photograph is pasted onto cardboard and backed by a page from The Argus, Melbourne newspaper. Unfortunately the date is missing but it looks like the photo was probably taken in the1940s. There is a soft albumin coating on the photo as was done back then to protect the thin paper photograph. Contact me if you know who she was. She may be a relative.
