Studio work in progress

Mixed media on canvas.. polychromos crayon, charcoal, acrylic + oil,

This piece I started last week is work in progress but I'm happy with where it's going. I arrived at my studio after having just finished 6 weeks of UAB workshops and had so much energy and colour to release onto the canvas. I began with no particular image in mind so just started to collect things around the place create a composition. The figure in the piece is a manequin named Gloria that I borrowed from Kristy Morgan's studio adjacent to mine. The piece she's wearing around her neck is a creation of Ruby and Prankstar.. captured with a little of my creative licence! On the left is a machine/creature I sketched over a year ago at the industrial park of Duisburg-nord in Germany. To the right is an oragami parrot made by by friend Lauren. It's a dynamic piece and I can't wait to get back to it!!
