elsa mora
Elsa Mora is a wonderful artist... her philosophies are beautiful and it shows though her work. I thoroughly recommend browsing her website + blogs... these pictures are a taster! I particularly adore her paper-cuts: The red + white palette plus the pure detail + floral shapes, coupled with the feminine themes..... so touching and honest. She has re-awakened my passion for the possibilities of paper!

large knitting
thought I'd put this up as I am up late and patching knitted pieces together.. a bit like this though maybe not so neatly...... Unfortunately I can't remember where I found this image.... but I do remember they had a special system set up so that pieces were knitted everyday based on information received.. like they were making a kind of map. I shall try and be a bit more specific once my brain comes back.

rosemarie fiore
I know I've already featured her Pyrotechnic paintings.. but I've been revisiting her website and found her 'Scrambler' paintings... farout! so amazing! what a lady!!
Here's what she has to say about her process:
"Good-Time Mix Machine: Scrambler Drawings" I connected a gas generator and air compressor to buckets of paint and secured them into the seats of a Scrambler amusement park ride. Once the ride was in motion, paint sprayed out of the benches onto vinyl tarps placed underneath. The result is a series of enormous hypocycloid designs which recorded the hidden patterns created by the ride as it turned.
Two videos were created in conjuction with the drawings.
(you'll have to find em on her website.. well worth a look)

stolen
I saw this as I was going past the Keeping Place in Redfern the other day... Its amazing! The word 'stolen' spelt out with milk crates. The reference to milk or nuturing is so powerful as well as it being a wonderful urban installation.
The Keeping Place is managed by Gordon and Elaine Syrons and is a stronghold of Aboriginal art being kept out of the clutches of bureaucracy and greedy poo-faces.
