Eureka Joins the Convent

Today I took possession of my studio at the Abbotsford Convent one of Australia's largest and most diverse cultural spaces on the banks of the Yarra River Melbourne

I had to apply for the opportunity to lease the space and used this image made of components of the convent fabric and garden and of my studio view of the cloister as part of my application demonstrating how I will use the Convent textures in my ongoing exploration of the male figure.

 My studio was a nun's bedroom then a classroom and still has  a blackboard and chalk!  


My friends David Chris and Richard all practising artists came to visit, stay tuned for the studio party . ..
