Servilles Desert Storm Show Continued..

These were some of the more arty photos that I managed to get on the day and have worked on a bit. I really like this kind of photography and I like the mood in the photos.

Servilles Desert Storm Show

 

 

The other day I was in my friend Ezra's Servilles Hair Dressing Academy Graduate Show. We started at 10 in the morning and spent all day getting ready. Hair, make up, styling, touch ups and a considerable amount of waiting. Some of the hair styles were absolutely wild! My hair looked incredible! I had a weaving on the side of my head. My make up was done by Gigi who is a very talented make up artist. Ezra was the directer of the show and had to co ordinate the entire event as well as get his own models ready but he pulled it off. It was full! The show had started and I was still getting my false eye lashes put on! Luckily I was last on the runway...


I saw so much talent and creativity that day! These were a few of my favourite backstage picks!

I'll be putting some of the more art ones up a little later.

In the Now

I have officially no more classes to attend at Elam and yet I am more motivated to go into school then ever before. I have an essay due and it requires all my brain power and more. It's about Contemporary Art, a subject that never sises to confound me. (Thank you Peter Shand.) The artist I am looking at is James Turrell and his material is pure light.  Figure that one out...

1. I was making a wish with a dandelion. 2. My neighbour and his skate board. 3. Dewy morning spider web. 4. Exhibition called 'Vernacular Painting' at Starkwhite Gallery on K Road. 5. Pre Exhibition Snack and Smiles. 

Sculpture Inspriation

I searched and I found inspiration in this artist: Sarah Sze. She inspired me to clean out our over cluttered cutlery drawers. You know those dark corners of your house that you never want to venture in to, for fear of what you might find because it hasn't been cleaned out for the past 5 years. Yes, well this was one of those areas. Armed with rubber gloves, boiling water and a bottle of detergent I under took the task of cleaning (sterilising) the 90% of junk we didn't use in these drawers. Three hours later I had three bags of sculpture materials...

My favourite sculpture is this natural coloured one. Who ever thought skewers, chop sticks and bricks would be so interesting? Sculpture continues to confound me. After resisting it for three weeks I am finally coming to terms with it.. And its due on Wednesday. Eek!

Searching for Inspiration

Two more weeks of Arts School left and then I have 6 weeks holiday. I am studying sculpture at the moment and struggling with the meaningless brief of creating a sculpture for the purpose of creating a sculpture. Specifically with found objects that have no personal, political or emotional context. I am going crazy.

This rose is so beautiful. If Hope had a colour it would be the colour of this rose.

Karangahape Road

I walk along K road almost every day and there is always some thing or some one interesting. My favourite time of day to walk along K Road is 6pm because everything comes to life.


Sadly, Margritte, one of the familiar faces of K Road usually asking me for a dollar or a smoke, died. Where she used to sit people had created this beautiful little shrine in her remembrance.

Chocolate Chip Cookies!

When Easter Rolls around I bake. I found this awesome jar and it was crying out to be filled up with cookies! I usually bake cakes but this batch turned out so good!
