Email back from Elli

I emailed Elli with my response and this is was her initial response.....not a visual but a text response.

"neat,
wow i really like that drawing, it is similiar to how i see the the world so i cant wait to respond to it. i wish i had it in the flesh, its a sensory, and if it was up somewhere, it would always reveal another part of itself to me.

Yeh crazy times hey. Uni is a barrage of contrivity. addictive tho, so they say.

Really i got to see ur opening, awesome to have family support too. What a great bunch of folks. Sorry about the baking mess, it was a bit of a rampage at the end there, but awfully good fun. Gave me a fix of the old days so i can enjoy sydney a bit more again."


I liked the way in which she said "it would always reveal another part of itself to me."..... This interests me in the sense that I often wonder what she sees and what I see. But I guess that is just art? I like the clean lines that I have used and the small detail. I want to do another of this but I would like to try bringing in some paint and see what happens. I have noticed a lot of my works are leading away from my favourite medium I am not sure if I am deliberately doing this or it is a reaction to my immediate environment.
I have a space at home but it gets walked thru so much I have to meticulously pack everything up so I have noticed I am on small scale and using tidier stuff. I know I need to move house or just not care. We have a carport but in the 7mths we have been there the landlord has still not patched the roof. You know what....its all excuses...I need to jump into it and get some paint and slap it around......

Off to make a canvas!!
