These Surveillance Blues

My latest exhibition These Surveillance Blues opened on Sunday, April 27 at the Tin Cat Café and Gallery, Rundle Street, Kent Town.

It wasn’t a very pleasant day – the first real wintry-type day of the year. It was cold and wet and bleak. Despite the weather there was a good turn-out for the opening. Landscape designer David Baptiste gave a speech and opened the exhibition.

The exhibition consists of seven large works (1 metre by 70cm when framed) and four series of four smaller works – 8 in 15x15cm frames and the other 8 in 25x25cm frames. David did all the framing once again. If I had to do it all the pictures would be crooked and ruined.

I sold 10 pictures at the opening including one to David Baptiste, who opened the exhibition – a nice surprise. It would be nice to sell a few more; mounting an exhibition like this is a huge financial drain.

The exhibition is available to view at the cafe/gallery until May 25. The Tin Cat is located at 107 Rundle Street, Kent Town and is open 7 days from 9am and is open in the evenings for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday night. My work will be in the front two rooms. Phone - 8362 4748.

Clicking on the pictures will take you to my Flickr photo sharing page where you can the pictures at a larger size.
