Scupture By The Sea 2010

I am very happy to say that I will be part of Sculpture By The Sea again this year with a work constructed almost entirely from clothes dryer fluff. I need a heap of it so please, if you use a clothes dryer, particularly if you run a business that uses one, can you please save your lint for me. Any colour is a good colour. I would be extremely grateful and your fluff will become part of the work. Please email me if you have any fluff and I will arrange postage or pick up lucy@lucybarker.com.au

Defiance Gallery 14th Annual Miniature Show

I have always loved mini things, and playing with scale generally, so I am delighted to be part of this fantastic show again this year…love it…all the works contributed have to be less that 15cm in any direction. There is usually a truly inspirational range of works…come see.

Giant sized Cuisneaire Rods, (counting blocks dating back to the early 1960s) lie on the ground fresh from their box. Barely touched they represent the enormous possibilties of a childs mind, a frozen moment on the cusp of life.

Landscape Drawing

At the beginning of winter this year I formed a small drawing group with a couple of other local artists and together we try and go drawing as often as life allows. For so many reasons it has become the thing I look forward to most.
Materials: charcoal, graphite, white conte, liquid paper

Coming Home (beached)

5 Lands Walk, Avoca Beach, June 2009
Suitcases, beach sand, PVA and Terry Towelling
approx 2m w x 3 m d x 1.5m h

Living at the beach sand is ubiquitous.
It is synonymous with the feeling of home as well as the ocean.
Heading home, whether it be from a long commute or an trip away, time accelerates and you start to feel the sand creeping in again; Between your toes, in your hair, under your nails, in the cuffs of your pants, in your shoes, in the shower and always surprises in children’s pockets.
