Business Trip with a Difference

It is a long way to pick up the bits and pieces needed to mount an exhibition! I am in an outback motel ‘living it up’ at Lightening Ridge. I have come to pick up this Milk Can.

All my trips are not just about building my business, which will eventually be an Art Gallery. The trips are also about defining my artistic process. I missed so many photo opportunities last night because I was driving. I snapped this one when I reached LR.

I will get out to the outlook tonight and capture images I couldn’t take while driving. I will meet a lady in Moree at lunchtime and pick up a milk can for $290. Seems expensive? That is the market price for ‘milk can’ because they are difficult to find. Even if you do find one, people will not let them go.

To justify such a long trip to pick up an item – I need to fit in a fair bit of creative work. Stay tuned.

Action shots – theme man planned integrated with nature

It is interesting. You don’t see people swimming or kayaking. I am keen to get back behind the paddle but a bit cautious. So, I satisfied myself exploring the theme of integrating man-planned structure with nature. Interesting pattern above.

I’ve called this photo Frothy! I love the patterns, the froth and the swirls. I am still heading towards abstraction. Interestingly, the AI process on this website suggests I explain more of my artistic process. At the moment, I am just on the hunt for exciting photos.

I am taken by the contrast between the rippling water and the sculpture of the deadwood/driftwood along the edge of the Warrego.

Speaking of man-planning, grass and wire netting hold the rocks and sand in place. We haven’t had much rain here, so this is all coming down from other places. There is no need for sandbagging and the like. I will do my research and see if this is Mitchell Grass.

I am resisting realism for the time being. Trying to lighten up and search for essence rather than superficial appearance.
