The Joy of the Dance.

Sometimes one can live in a particular place for many decades and still be astonished by what is just around the corner.

I have lived in my current home for over 50 years, and yet I was astonished to be made aware of a small museum only 5 minutes drive away. https://www.duldig.org.au/

To reflect on the legacy of the sculpture of Karl Duldig, an exhibition was proposed for later this year, featuring the work of artists from the local Firestation Print Studio which I have been a member of for a few years. The exhibition is called 'Collection Reflection'. There was an evening back in October last year when print makers who were interested in the idea, visited the museum and chose a sculpture or artifact that 'spoke' to them with the idea of making an artwork of some kind to reflect this interest. I loved these 3 Dancing Figures, such joy and sense of movement!

I've been having a lot of fun working on my design and have now submitted it for the exhibition. I was given the dimensions of  quite a small plinth for display, so was somewhat limited by the allowed size. My triptych fits the plinth nicely however and I'm very happy with my 3 differently coloured articulated dancers on their patterned printed backgrounds.

                 After these photos were taken I did add the word 'dance' to each face of the artwork.
