VIERNES, EL VIENTE DE NOVIEMBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
For the past two days, I've been filmed by 'The Gravy' for TV6. The new season starts in a couple of weeks, but the episode I'm in is the last one of the series (number 12, I think) also featuring Ben Cauchi and Carmen Simmons.
Here's an ex-voto I did of the crew - the presenter, Ross; director and cameraman, Phil; sound and boom, Joel and assistant, Tosh. Ross Liew wrote the text for this one...great to collaborate.

JUEVES, EL DIECENUEVE DE NOVIEMBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
Another ceramic piece for next year's show at the Rayner Brothers Gallery.
A scrimshaw salt and pepper shaker set with crucifix handle (which I'm hoping won't break off)
I'm thinking about decorating the stand and crucifix in blue again, with the scrimshaw as life like as I can get them.
I've still to smooth off the teeth so they're not so lumpy.

LUNES, EL DIECISEIS DE NOVIEMBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
CLAY WINS!
I'm finding I'm making more and more sculptures out of clay recently, which is helping my painting by forming the 3-d object which helps understand the form in full, which in turn helps develop working space when I paint the object in a painting. All Gris(t) to the Mill(ais).

EL CRUZ DE DOMINGO, EL QUINCE DE NOVIEMBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
I haven't posted a crucifix for a while (been in Auckland, have other things come up to post about) so here's a return to a bit more consistence on Sundays.
This is hand-coloured silver gelatin photographic print I swapped with a student a year and a bit ago. I think her name was Jascinda, taking fashion design , but she took a photography workshop to get some extra credits. I thought it a beautiful example of traditional hand-colouring. She could have easily got a job as a White's Aviation tinting artist. I swapped this for a small HMV Dog painting that she selected.
I've started becoming more interested in 2-d images of crucifixes, especially photographs, as they often have more information around the outside of the cross, the context, which adds to the where, when and why; the intentions of the photographer and the subjects surroundings.

MIERCOLES, EL ONCE DE NOVIEMBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
An invitation to a new exhibition at the Rayner Bros Gallery in Whanganui. Thirty-eight E.T.'s, decorated by thirty-eight artists from around New Zealand...should be interresterling. I'll be posting an photo of my version in the next couple of days. I've tentatively called it 'Spielbergian Pergatory'.

After a week of openings at the Art School here in Whanganui, I drove over to Hawkes Bay to Judith Anderson's country gallery in Hawkes Bay for the opening of Seen This Century, an exhibition of artists from Warwick Brown's recent book.
Here's a snap of Warwick Brown delivering the opening speech. Ben Pearce's Great Grandfather's Clock is to the right.

Here's the reason I was looking for that specific hood image on the de Cosimo altarpiece (right) - I've put up this image on the left once before, a detail from a large della Robbia altarpiece
