October: countdown to End

Well its amazing to me that end of year assessment and exhibition is coming up soon. Between today and mid November I've got plenty of work to complete and I'm already looking forward to further development of projects beyond end of semester. My career is almost beginning. I'm really loving my life right now, especially my art and working with students and staff at Queensland College of Art.
I was fortunate to attend an "Art in politics: politics in Art" conference on Friday. Public art in Brisbane was one of the topics discussed and it was very interesting. As an artist I have a strong desire to create work that will be installed in the public domain.
The cement cloud I've been working on is still is embryo stage as it's been a very stubborn cloud but I'm making headway on it now. I think expectation on myself has stifled my production of the cloud and concern about having a work suitable to present to Guan Wei.
By contrast the wooden fish are coming along swimmingly. My latest development is wooden lotus mandala puzzles which I'm planning to develop on a larger scale.
