Meet Jack, the new hare around here. He’ll be going to the foundry soon. ‘Here’ is, by the way, Australia. We moved back a few months before Covid happened, so had time to settle in before battening down the hatches.

Still a WIP, but getting there. Meanwhile, some photos in the afternoon sun.

“Lovers’ Lane” (previous post) is in this year’s Maldon Art Walk, from 16-31 March, in which the streets of the historic town will display over 40 artists’ work in shop windows and public venues. Debra  Goldsmith and Heather Ellyard are featured guest artists.  The opening is at 5pm on 16th March at the Maldon Neighbourhood Centre, corner of Church and Edwards streets, and there’s a twilight guided tour on 23rd March at 6pm (details here). Many thanks to lovely Maison Maldon for hosting my work!

Two new bronze pieces, “Lovers’ Lane” and “Bluebird”. When I first made the model for Lovers’ Lane it wasn’t holding anything, just gesturing in the air — then eventually the second mask came along. Bluebird’s colour is a pigmented patina. I want to get some better photos, but these will do for now.

May he have the honour of this dance?

Here are the Fabulous Anybodies finished — I had to thicken their legs a bit — and Not a Sausage, and the model for another piece, Birthday Boy:

The Fabulous Anybodies and Not a Sausage are finished. They’ll be small editions of between 6 and 8. The second Anybody decided to forgo the fan, as it was a bit cumbersome and hid too much of the hood. I’ll probably do one of each in brown and one in a lighter colour like green, then see about the rest.
